The most based game developer I've ever seen that is a "content creator" is Thor from Pirate Software.
The dude is blowing up on YouTube shorts for his based takes in the gaming industry.
There's not been a single time where I've watched a video of his and did not say "Well, that's based as fuck"
Check out his shorts if you haven't already. He's pretty cool.
Also, his dad was the "WoW guy" from South Park. Cinematic director at Blizzard for 30 years.

@BeAware There are a few things I disagree with, but for the most part I agree.
I do think there's a certain danger that comes with the attitude of "What I say is just true" when most of what he says is just strong opinion, however, especially because the majority of what he says *is* accurate, so it makes inaccurate or more opinionated statements harder to discern for the less experienced viewer.

@BeAware I don't have any links on-hand, but I'll try to remember to reply here if I get any in the future.

"People over the age of 23 are 'old'" https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6ON_9uCBAKY
IMO 80 is "old" and even then that number may shift even later depending on how we progress with understanding and delaying aging. This is almost certainly a joke take, but I feel like the attitude is inherently toxic, even in irony.
"If a developer/publisher does something you don't like, stop playing their games so they'll start doing things differently" https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Qt2FRgXO3b4
We should know by now that "voting with your dollar/attention" doesn't really do much because the people with more dollars get more votes. This also ignores the idea that players could get emotionally or skillfully invested in a specific game which *may not have alternatives in the market*, so telling them to "just stop playing" doesn't offer them any long-term solutions or alternatives to wanting that specific game.

@ThaMunsta 😂he's pretty good most of the time.
Some stuff he says doesn't line up with reality and is just engagement bait, but I always watch his YouTube shorts when they come up.

@BeAware that's funny I missed this when you originally posted it but I see his reels ALL the time on instagram too and I finally followed him on Twitch. I thought I would look for him on fedi and that brought me to your post 😂
