What drama with the Factorio devs is he talking about at the end (and namesearchers?.. I don't get Twitter sometimes) I've never heard anyone say anything about the Factorio devs except praise their productivity and professionalism.

Kovarex promoted Uncle Bob in the past, who has generated a drama vortex of his own.

One dev said in one post that they like Uncle Bob. I think that’s it.

  Well, that and a number of follow-up comments from the same developer, such as this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/o2ly6f/friday_facts_366_the_only_way_to_go_fast_is_to_go/h28beya/ https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/o2ly6f/friday_fac... A lot of people have (understandably) lost patience with the "just asking questions" style of rhetoric, and don't appreciate others making excuses for it.

> "saying the name of the game uncensored is going to get namesearchers and I have a transflag in my name so guess what kind of response I'd immediately get?" I believe kovarex made some anti-trans statements once, and gamers in general are prone to making abuse pile-ons, so it's a mitigation against that.

    Uncle Bob? Stating he is just "some right-wing youtuber" sounds mildly reductive, the guy co-authored the agile manifesto[0]. I won't go as far as defending his views, but recommending his talks and books seems pretty normal to me.

      He doesn't even have a whole "getting cancelled" section on his Wikipedia page yet, can't be that bad.

    Might as well cancel most programmers while we're at it. It's insane to lambast him for this when all he did was recommend some of Uncle Bob's videos on project management and programming.
