I honestly have no idea how you were able to keep any sense of composure through that initial interview. I'll admit I kind of started to feel bad for the guy at certain points but making follow up videos like this... that feeling melts away pretty fast.

It's not even a rip-off of Five Night's at Freddy's?! And it's about... beating up women...
I can't.

The fuck. Isn't this where the guy said "Yeah I can see how that was taken out of context" or something, like he tried to brush off the beating women part?

Oh, I won.
I very much won.
Jim, I'll forgive you if you tell me this was all a publicity stunt to get more hits, after the Slaughtering Grounds there's no way DH could keep acting the way they do, see you only benefit from it and continue to self destruct anyway.
There's just no way.

He tried to turn it into another criticism of me, saying, "I told [presumably James Romine] it should've been a male, as I knew you'd be all over that."
Basically suggesting I'M the unreasonable one for finding it disturbing that you're repeatedly punching a defenseless woman in the face.

Holy **** !
Omg, does he think he actually won?
Use the name to ride the coattails of FNAF and make a game about beating women to death. You can't say you're being picked on because you're indie and then turn and make women beating simulator,
What in the actual fuck is this?
Yea I hope DH and anyone who worked on this shit don't stay in the gaming industry for very long.
That would be so much shit on shit it would be like the gaze of medusa, but instead of stone you would turn to shit.

Yeah that dude has lost all grasp on reality.
Disabling comments and likes/dislikes was a good idea.

Oh you very much did, but at the end of the day, you were the only person who could have lost anything with this interview. Even if DH had come in with actual ammo and not insanity, they still had no real chance of coming out ahead because of their past actions with both the public and yourself.*Checks Patreon account*
Oh, I won.
I very much won.
They had nothing to lose and only more publicity to gain.
I am honestly surprised at how calm you were able to stay throughout that almost two hour trainwreck though. Even I was yelling, and I wasn't even there
And as a fan of your work and of comedy, I am glad you took the interview. It was absolutely fascinating, but the wannabe professional game dev in me says it was probably a bad idea on everyone's end.RichiRamjag

I was in the car when I read this and I just lost my shit at "the gaze of medusa". Thank you for making my day mate.
I think you're missing my point. When Steam refunds were first implemented they could be claimed for pretty much any previous store purchase for a short while, hence money that DH had already received could have been claimed against. It is a different circumstance going forward now that you refer to.

Well throughout this whole affair DH sure haven't shown any reason for us to believe they're doing it because of intelligence.

I think DH is doing it because the guy has zero self awareness and honestly thinks he's right and is making amazing points and counter points.

Just listening to this again. Man, the DH guy has no idea how YouTube works, and he goes on this petty tirade trying to personally insult Jim and his career when he should have just said "Yeah, fair enough some of my early games have been shit, but we're getting better and a lot of our early mistakes can be attributed to our own naivety". I feel kind of bad for him and his odd viewpoints, but on the other hand I expect that they've actually benefited from all this coverage and controversy.
