Who and why?
The Factorio dev. I've heard he's a shit person but not dove deeper into it.
Edit; did some looking and yeah, he's a shitbag. He claimed that Statutory Rape was a SJW term, and that teachers should be able to seduce their students as long as they weren't violent.
Then he used a dev blog to link to a racist misogynistic jackass, and when called out on it (The guy just wanted a disclaimer on the link) Korvex went on a rant about cancel culture and then tried to defend the misogynistic views, claiming that "maybe there's a reason why there are so few women coders"
Isn't it disappointing. I know it doesn't have anything to do with Factorio per se but I have a finite amount of money for games, there are way more games that I want to play than I have time or money for, and they certainly are not hurting for money. Rather spend it with someone who doesn't hate me and wishes harm on the people I love.
