    The dev admitted he copied a lot of games and the next game does look very similar to hollow knight. Doesn’t deserve death threats though.

      Nothing does and no one said anything to the contrary as far as I can tell.

        I know but sometimes you just need to make the obvious statement because people will attack you anyway.

          That’s stupid imo, and we should push back against that nonsense. I strongly oppose the format, “I agree with {majority opinion}, but {nuanced opinion}.” Just lead with the nuanced opinion. Don’t make me sift through this appeal to the majority nonsense every time.

          I get why people do it, it’s just a lot of noise just because people knee-jerk downvote. I wish Lemmy (or something else) would weight votes based on some kind of merit so we don’t need to play that game.

            Yeah I agree generally but for me it was more like this is very sensitive issue and if I say anything controversial I also have to make sure people don’t’ randomly think I’m fine with the death threats in general. I think this death threat stuff is nonsense, I got death threats just playing games, I see people complaining about it all the time, it just seems like a non issue and I don’t know why devs even talk about it.
