Streamer Pirate Software refuted accusations that his sensational Twitch success, which broke records, was artificially created for the sake of the achievement.
As a gamer speaking up against the Stop Killing Games movement, I’ve found myself in the crosshairs lately. Pirate Software, known for its game development and streaming, took a step back from Ludwig’s OffBrand Games studio following the review-bombing of Rivals of Aether 2 due to their connection with it.
Although SKG attained its target of one million signatures, the streamer persists in expressing that the petition remains “unspecific” regarding its objectives.
Facing criticism, Pirate Software has been charged with manipulating his voice during live streams, as well as artificially inflating the excitement around his Twitch channel, which supposedly set a new record for hype.
Pirate Software addresses Twitch hype train claims
Circulating on X (formerly Twitter), there were screenshots of conversations allegedly between him and one of his moderators, suggesting that they coordinated the setting of a new record.
On the contrary, Khronos financed this endeavor on his own accord and inquired about its validity. Not once was he compensated or instructed to carry out this action,” the streamer retorted.
He’s an adult with the freedom to use his own funds as he sees fit. Feel free to dislike me as much as you want, but targeting my employees is incredibly poor conduct.
Khronos financed the task himself, seeking approval in advance. It’s important to note that he wasn’t compensated or directed to perform this action. He has the autonomy to use his own resources as he sees fit, and criticizing his decision or targeting his staff is unprofessional and below par behavior.

The software identified as a pirate was questioned about his reason for bringing up Twitch Bits during the pursuit of a new record.
He frequently discusses this topic with the community. When you buy approximately 25,000 bits, about 82% of that amount goes directly to the streamer, thereby boosting their excitement. This isn’t hidden knowledge; it’s simply a matter of simple mathematics.
I informed him on the correct method to move the train, as I usually make clear to everyone. Ultimately, if it’s his decision to spend his money, that’s up to him. Nobody was instructed or forced, and he has the freedom to act as he chooses.
Everyone in our community knows this, but here it is again. When you buy 25,000 bits, about 82% of that amount goes directly to the streamer, thereby intensifying the excitement or ‘hype’.

The game developer clarified that it’s completely permissible, according to the terms of service (TOS), for a moderator to utilize their accounts for subscriptions and bits.
“In no way was it triggered by me, nor was he compensated or reimbursed for it,” he said.
