It's hilarious that as reviewers, you guys point out pros and cons of stuff in a video... yet you're feeling salty that the dev does the same by pointing out the pros and cons of you irresponsibly pirating his software He's just weighing publicity vs his stuff getting pirated, and explaining his thought process.
And while yeah, destroy is an exaggeration, bad PR does hurt businesses. But if you wanna pretend he's insinuating something that's very real in this day and age of cancelling stuff... ok
This paragraph was literally you saying "I could criticize you too, like you're insinuating (LOL) and whiplashing me (LOLOLOL), but I'm not going to." You know what, you're such a good guy Linus.
Anyways, there's a whole ass video on admitting to messing up the video backup storage. You could do something similar, make a video about this controversy, how you mistakenly pirated, even recommend it if you honestly would recommend it. But nope. You said you wouldn't address this on the WAN show. Like you won't even have the decency to spend a minute addressing and apologizing about this on the WAN show??? Especially since your show has covered multiple controversies and scandals, but you won't even cover this scandal when you're at the heart of it? I can't tell if this apology is genuine or if you just got caught being irresponsible and are feeling salty at the dev and/or yourself.
"Ok, ok, I bought the commercial license good now?"
"Sorry I did it, but it's not really commercial."
"Sorry I did it, but the site wasn't that good and it wasn't clear to me"
"Am I going to cover it? Hell no, not worth my time"
I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but that's the vibes I'm getting from these indignant responses throughout the thread.
This is such a disappointing response from a longtime fan. It's just sad.
