The former StarCraft 2 developer must explain not just his disobedience within World of Warcraft, but also a somewhat controversial remark (as reported by Mein MMO).
Jason Hall, also known as “Pirate Software,” garnered popularity through streaming, but unfortunately, his luck seems to have taken a turn for the worse, largely due to his own actions. In a previous role at Blizzard, he was expelled from his guild in World of Warcraft Classic following an unfortunate incident during a raid in Dire Maul North. This unfortunate event led to the permanent death of two characters. This situation sparked a conversation and accusations of “hate raids” against other streamers, as reported by Dexerto/Sportskeeda.
Afterwards, much like what often transpires online, those against Hall started looking for potentially damaging information about the streamer. For example, they might have searched for old comments suggesting a mount in World of Warcraft was believed to be more lucrative than StarCraft 2.
Mount for verification
Just a heads up, in mid-November 2023, the developer mentioned that the “15-dollar mount” accumulated more earnings over a two-year period than Wings of Liberty. It is likely that he was referring to the Celestial Steed.
In the wake of recent disputes, Reddit user Sem1SkillD asserted that there was no proof to back up the information about Pirate Software. Following the release of the streamer’s content, doubts arose concerning the origin of his “findings”. The player found Hall’s response to be absurdly dismissive.
Sem1SkillD indicates that the streamer primarily based his statement on published articles and fan materials, rather than information he had obtained from his past work at Blizzard Entertainment. Hall added to this by making certain assumptions. For instance, the estimated budget for “StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty” was taken from an article in the Wall Street Journal. However, it was later discovered that the reported budget of $100 million was actually for World of Warcraft (via GameSpot), not StarCraft 2.
Jason’s problems
In addition, the online user points out that, even if some of Hall’s data is validated, the income from the steed sale doesn’t come close to the earnings generated by StarCraft 2, which are approximately 84 million and 150 million dollars.
Indeed, it’s quite intriguing to note how a basic mount’s earnings nearly matched that of a high-budget game. This underscores an interesting trend, yet it doesn’t alter the fact that Pirate Software’s claim from November, which has been widely circulated online, seems unsubstantiated.
For other Reddit users, this incident provided an opportunity to tarnish Hall’s standing further. Previously, he had built up a significant reputation, but – as previously mentioned – the drama involving the OnlyFangs guild significantly eroded his credibility among most internet users. This has made it simpler (even more tempting) for critics to doubt the streamer’s statements. Particularly since this is not the first controversy connected to Pirate Software.
