Drama erupted in the World of Warcraft community after Pirate Software abandoned his team during a high-stakes Hardcore WoW session, resulting in the death of two level 60 players. The incident happened during a livestream where, after being asked to take accountability for his actions, Pirate Software abruptly left the call. Fans quickly labeled him selfish and narcissistic, pointing out his refusal to use key abilities like Sheep or Frost Nova, which could have saved the team.
During the stream, Pirate Software chose not to use his mana ruby and instead cast Ice Barrier, further draining his mana without providing much utility for his team. The lack of effort and disregard for team coordination drew heavy criticism from viewers, who accused him of gaslighting his teammates and failing to own up to his mistakes. Jason Thor Hall, another prominent streamer involved in the event, faced additional backlash as tensions escalated.
Fans have called out the zero accountability displayed during the stream, emphasizing how crucial teamwork is in Hardcore WoW. The discussion has since taken over forums and social media, with players debating whether Pirate Software’s actions were a result of poor judgment or a deliberate attempt to shift blame. Regardless of intent, the incident has become a defining moment in Hardcore WoW streaming, sparking debates on accountability, teamwork, and fair play in the community.

This guy is a great example of how being a game developer doesn't make you good at the game, and he loves to swing around how he is a former Blizzard employee who has been in the game industry for 20+ years yet in all that time he never worked on a single good game, his most famous game is vanilla WoW which is a MMORPG for bad players who couldn't handle Ultima Online or EverQuest (this sentiment is echoed by multiple WoW devs who admitted their entire focus when creating WoW was making it easier than the MMO's of the time)
this guy really wants to be recognized like he's Hideo Kojima but he has absolutely nothing to show for it
I dont even like the guy but trying to end his career over a couple characters dying is absolutely insane. If anyone is to blame, blame the druid for pulling the 2 xtra packs that killed the healer and himself.
HOW DARE U REACT OR COVER THIS SUBJECT AT ALL!!! U ARE ON THOR DEATHNOTE NOW
Everyone, and I mean LITERALLY EVERYONE who hates on Thor and blames what happens on him needs an URGENT reality check…
It was neither his fault anyone died nor did he abandon anyone… How can you people be so quick to judge?
The rogue (who apparently was the shotcaller) caused absolute mayhem in the group by panicked, haphazard calls and the lack of communication discipline and THEN caused even MORE disarray by conflicting with his own calls then blaming it on Thor…
"Run run run run run" was called so that is exactly what everyone should have sticked to.
I am simply amazed by such a disgusting amount of sheeple-ish stupidity and total neglect of critical analysis from SO many people.
There were strategic mistakes by not securing a clear route for retreat, mis-pulling and worst of all horrible team leadership from their shot caller.
COULD Thor have helped by doing more? Probably, but it is questionable at best if it would've changed the outcome because the other mistakes were too severe… So Thor isn't responsible for the deaths of their teammates at all. He was the ONLY one who maintained the discipline to follow and upheld his consistency of the ONE call that automatically overruled any other call after that: "RUN".
Even if anyone calls it out in panic in a life or death situation like this then anything else becomes IRRELEVANT. You retreat, reset, talk it out and learn from it. No amount of quarrels, hate blaming or time lost in re entering the dungeon justifies the permadeath of a group member…
The fact that so many people are just incapable of comprehending this and rather jump on the convenient scapegoat instead is just pathetic…
I hate saying this, but admins take is probly the most based take.
People here shouting on pirate software clearly have no understanding of wow mechanics nor watched the live stream xD
Run waa called…
Everyone roaches and denies responsibility. The only difference is onlyfangs likes the other ones they dont like pirate.
it's actually impressive that braindead drama and braindead fans that do the type of harassment this guy is getting, are allways wherever community Yamato is in at the moment, but somehow it's allways the other person's fault…
Reminder that Yamato is the same guy that helped Dantes quit League of Legends, helped Dantes having to get mental help on how psychologically f'd up he got, helped making the brazilian league community basically against everyone (and vice-versa), helped maiking the korean professional league of legends community basically against content creators, and these are just from the top of my head, from last year alone
He didn’t kill them, they killed themselves. They should have been more careful and booked it out of there when things got bad.
team makes Yamato the shotcaller (Notorious for being trash at shotcalling) , team dies , blames Thor ….. BROTHER even a blind person could've seen this from a mile away
Nope he don’t kill them, Yamato called run but then didn’t want to run and everyone was messing up and pulling more mobs. The community around this game is toxic af.
Should have really mentioned the part where they called run.
They said run right away., he runs, now they say it’s his fault, this whole things a fucking joke
People in your comments are clueless LOL I think pirate fans watch this channel
ROACH 🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳
they were getting away without his help as he secured the enchanting mats/recipes. then the druid body pulled a third pack and the healer decided to stand in the path of that pack and start healing. expecting him to pull of some miracle in the face of these massive fuckups is disingenuous and it couldn't be more clear to me that the haters in this whole affair are of two camps: stupid or ignorant of wow (that's most of them) and then the content creators who already didn't like Pirate, already felt envious of his meteoric rise and intellect/knowledge so they jumped on this like vultures to let out their latent aggression in a safe way. it's pathetic and you all should be ashamed.
as someone who hasn't played wow the amount of people mad over this is actually insane why play a game you can lose everything in after hours of playtime if you don't expect to actually lose it
Rank 1 blizzard and nova would of slowed everything minus the boss which ozy was tanking since it got pulled. As long as he zones out before ozy he lives 100%
They told him to run he ran end of story
does anyone wanna group with him now? i sure wouldn't lol
