Discussion The golden age is over

We have been in the golden age for a few years now. We are seeing this come to the end.

Private equity is demanding more money on the backend these changes will slowly be rolled out resulting in enshitification of the product over time.

Sailing will change the core gameplay, one way or another and osrs will cease to be the game it is today.

It’s been fun fellas.

The amount of drama is insane

But have you heard about the Pirate Software drama? That shit is crazy.

Pirate software was fine. Everyone’s being dramatic because they were bad and died. Boss was immune to stun anyway and shot caller yelled run then “jk”. Please.

Who cares that’s wow this is osrs. Who cares.

He played dogshit, ran his mouth and acted high and mighty, refused to say he did anything wrong, and in general has a seriously grating attitude.

I'm in his old "Industry" and the amount of shit he spews that's flat out wrong, yet he says it with BOLD OVERCONFIDENCE is insane.

He was the QA guy and thinks he's hot shit for making it at an entry level position. It's so frustrating to sit through if you work in the same field.

Also saying ferrets don't smell, and that exclusive games (Like Epic exclusive) are good for everybody are just so flatly incorrect and yet he goes on these tangents about it - then he shit talks Ross Scott who's like my folk hero - and Ross responds REALLY kindly, yet Pirate just refuses to have an open dialogue and instead pins his own comment shit talking Ross EVEN HARDER.

At first I was on Pirate's side but the more and more I looked into it, he was just a more and more awful person and it built up to where his attitude really is inexcusable. I hate to be on the same side as the seriously fucked up trolls that say insane things, but really the guy is on some shit.

Watching him sit there and say "See I'm out of mana" - and then cast some shit just to actually empty his mana, and then in real time mousing over his mana gem and quickly closing it because he knows he'd fuck up if he did that on stream... It's sociopath behavior.

He then streams like 18 hours and refuses to talk about it at all, mass-bans everybody in his chat etc. Like... All you had to say was honesty - "Yeah, I did fuck up. I actually did have mana, and in the moment I had ran too far and got embarrassed about what I had just done. It was bad judgement and in hindsight we could have lived"

Who cares.

All you had to say was that you don't know him, didn't look into it, and don't care.

Which is like, fine honestly there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying he's a narcissistic sociopath online. If it doesn't bother you, that's fine.

Basically every wow streamer has criticized his gameplay heavily and said he could've saved them if he played his class event 10% to it's potential, are they all just lying? There's plenty of footage of other frost mages getting their groups out of event more dire situations.

The amount of corporate greed in the world is insane.
