But.... why though?? Just for the lulz? They must be doing SOMETHING that provoked this? (Not victim-blaming, whatever they're doing doesn't justify threats - just trying to understand what's happening)
afaik theres no reason at all, just gamers being gamers
G*mers 🤢
*frustrated hair-pulling noises*
Bethesda fanboys thinking daddy Todd “deserves” that money or something.
I don't think this is it because the only commonality between bethesda fans I have ever seen is calling Todd a liar and hoping he falls into a mineshaft.
Pretty damn sure all of these renewal projects require the original game files.
If you're popular on the internet and not receiving death threats, you aren't that popular.
Saying "kys" can be considered as a "death threat".
A) anything can be considered anything by somebody somewhere. What is your point?
B) legally, in most relevant jurisdictions, it is not legally a death threat.
C) It’s still a pretty awful thing to say to someone, and if people were repeatedly saying it to me over my hobby project, I’d definitely consider stopping.
D) what exactly are you trying to say with that comment? Because I really can’t read it as anything GOOD.
