In the aftermath of the successful Stop Killing Games campaign, Pirate Software allegedly experienced a swatting incident and received threatening messages that implied deadly intent.
The “Preserve Your Games” initiative encourages game publishers to maintain accessibility to digital games long after their official support period ends. As of now, this petition has garnered over 1.15 million signatures following its launch on July 3rd.
By 2024, the broadcaster expressed dissent towards the movement, labeling its objectives as overly “ambiguous.” He further stated, “This movement seems to be requesting rights that don’t currently exist, disregarding the comprehensive safeguards that are already in place.
During a July 4 Twitch stream, Pirate Software, also known as Thor, said:
On Tuesday, I found myself at the receiving end of a SWATting incident. Ever since then, my phone has been ringing non-stop. To make matters worse, I’ve received countless death threats, not just for me, but also aimed at the entire moderation team we have.” (First person perspective as a gamer)
Pirate Software’s message to SGF
Thor went on saying, ‘People have labeled me as a corporate drone, a degenerate, a narcissist, and even a nepotism baby, among several other terms.’
Despite clear proof to contradict them, people have consistently criticized all of my achievements throughout my life. Furthermore, they’ve attempted to discredit every job I’ve ever had by claiming I never actually worked there or that I didn’t deserve the position if I did.
Before returning to playing Dune: Awakening, Thor concluded by stating:
Let me be straightforward with you. I genuinely wish that your project [SGF] achieves all the requirements you’ve set, yet none of your specific desires. I’ll stop here for now.
On July 3rd, Thor announced via a post on X/Twitter that he had left Ludwig’s Offbrand Games after the SGF discussion. He stated that individuals were targeting all of the games produced by the studio because of his remarks, which he described as “unbalanced” behavior.
