It's only odd from the standpoint that he isn't an industry plant. There are people at twitch and jewtube who I'm sure are skeeved their investment is being raked.
Namely Ludwig.
Ludwig and co are pissed.

They had a good thing going and an army of cattle nigger who wuld buy anything he told them to buy. But he had to go and open his mouth and couldn't shut up.
 
His explanation at the beginning is very grandiose and suggests a high salary and good benefits package. He says all 12 moderators are full-time salaried with vision, dental, medical, life insurance, and he's working on 401k packages. But wait! That's only for US employees. All the European employees are actually contractors who "formed their own microcompanies" which allows them to "choose their own hours". All of this strikes me as bullshit he read online, in a Reddit post about how to incorporate a business.

Breaking down the numbers, he says there are 12 paid moderators which are then listed on screen, plus 2 editors and 2 rescue staff. On the rescue staff, he says one is clerical and one is part-time, but I'm not sure if this is the same person, or if that's 2 separate people plus Shaye. This could put us at 17 "employees," but he's already admitted that several of them are contractors (not employees), and Shaye would be serving multiple roles working at the rescue and providing ongoing art assets for the game. Meaning no other Heartbound employees.

I would really love to know some of the internals for his "business" because the way he talks about moving money around and how tax works, it makes me think he's just as clueless at handling his company as he is at everything else. Zero mention of any corporate staff. Plus the fact that he's a manipulative narcissist that uses everyone around him, makes me think he doesn't have 17 names plugged into a payroll system that he's funneling over a million dollars a year into. Not even touching the 401k, an average salary with benefits package would be around $68k in the US. And according to Mald, jannies get paid the same even if they're in Brazil. That's $1,156,000 for 17 employees. Maybe he's paying some employees a proper salary with benefits, but what's more likely is that he's paying most employees the bare minimum to remain NEETs in their parents basements without any sort of proper employment contract.

I'm honestly surprised he hasn't gone the Starbound route and tricked a bunch of stupid gay kids to finish his game for him for free.

Second of all, no one in their right mind would even worry about translations until the project is complete. That's just wasting time and I can't think of anyone retarded enough to break their workflow to run their writing through 6 different translators. No fucking WAY Jason knows 2 languages, let alone all 6. So he's just putting his writing through some automated slop program and delivering garbage translations to his audience.
That seems very characteristic of someone who "wants to have written but doesn't want to write." I.e. the type who dreams of the fame that comes with completing a project, but doesn't spend any time working on the manuscript.

In AI: The Somnium Files, the MC is a detective who wears a bionic eye with an Artificial Intelligence to assist him in detecting. The thing is called an AI-Ball, which is of course pronounced "eyeball" in English. Spoken with a thick Engrish accent, "eyeball" also sounds like "aibo" which means "partner" in Japanese (what a detective would call their working partner). Anyway it's the kind of pun you can make if you speak both languages and you're planning it from the start; otherwise you don't get those kind of translated puns unless you're very lucky or working with closely related languages. You sure as hell don't get them across 6 distinct languages.

Which is only even more funny when all sloptubers goes to offbran games steam pages, see that there's no mass review bombing, and point out that after Ludwig cried about it, positive comments started getting spamed, which points out how full of crap he is, im glad that Jason can radiate retardation on people around him.

Appropriate profile picture.
How does one guy have such consistency in shit takes?

@mald can you please tell your server members to not shit up the SKG discord, thanks.
That mmmyaa guy had like 3000 messages in the maldcord #SKG channel, he was the one that started spamming the danieltan blog there. He had the newbie tag then too, he basically joined the maldcord just to shit talk SKG
 
The funniest part about that is the languages he chose to translate.
Brazillian-Portuguese? Latin-American Spanish? No German? No Chinese?
He focuses the ""translation"" on ESL poorer countries because he preys on poor, impressionable weak man.
I was thinking about "everything you asked for and nothing you wanted."
This statement was underrated for just how purely evil it was. Requoting myself one time, sorry:
It's funny that in his earlier, lighter critiques of SKG he'd agree that it's okay to WANT game preservation as a whole, but that they were ASKING for it the wrong way.
Now he's explicitly taking the bad moral position and openly cheering for the worst outcomes, while claiming the internet makes him a villain for no reason.

Don't laugh, but Shaye is also the one that has medical expertise, and that (in majority) takes care of the ferrets.
AFAIK: She's a Veterinarian Assistant. Which in Washington is just a small certification, not serious training. That's hardly medical expertise.
Even if you grant that she's GREAT at her job (ye right) - surely there's a limit to the Ferrets per VetAssistant ratio. You can't just keep adding ferrets.
I'd say there's a non-zero chance some "authorizing" is currently going on in the Maldcord.
I have no words. Jason is an American disgrace.
 
You joke, but then there's stuff like this:

It's really hard to feel even a little bad for Mald when this is how he acts. Mald went down the fuck-around route and has been welcomed to the finding out timeline. Insane behaviour dude.

I don't think he's anywhere close to actually employing 17 dents full time. I don't think his handlers pay him enough to run an operation at that scale. Two or three max if we're accepting that the benefits are real. The rest are paid in nuggies good boy points.
 
How and why does he have 17 employees holy shit. Also why is his business model to scam people in to buying a game forever in early access

To back up forklift certified's post with evidence:
15 is self reported already +2 I think his ego bleeding trough his statement, I dönt tink he hired More people...

The proof for that is based on this video at 36s
Reminder that he not only pays the mods, he pays them full, living wages and then some.
They are not, in fact, doing it for free, they take their 9-5 very seriously.

Pirate lists 12 mod names, but 2 of them(zafaroth and djinnet) are no longer mods since the drama.

Also later on in the vid, Shaye is clarified as one of the 2 people who is on the ferret rescue staff, while the clerical person is someone different.

So I believe it is 15 employees. And, this is backed up by a post pirate made himself on april 9th.

nah that's absolutely not true. we'd have at least one of them jumping ship, leaking loads of insider drama content and becoming a streamer themselves

the latter of which is kinda like what fake lawyer boi and pooner wife are doing

they're being dripfed cash to survive and to rely on maldy for their subsistence
 
He's feeling better, but still on antibiotics for his cough. I haven't heard any coughing?

Edit: only the faintest, weakest, fakest shallowest single cough ever

are the 75k without tax? I think in 2 years he will be in such a high tax debt.

Can someone write the 2 ex jannies and ask them why they left?
I dunno how pirate files his bonuses, whether they're real bonuses or just gifts to his employees, so it probably depends on where his jannies live.

Dunno if cowtipping, but the 2 ex jannies are still active on his discord so they haven't turned against him, just been let go/fired.
 
I think futile lamenting on how many paid asspats mald has... The only thing is matter, his company revenue stream based on a highly volatile market (in my opinion) and HE is the sole money maker! More or less 15 employee Company revenue portfolio standing in one leg based on a singular individual hell of a risk...

How he manages his life is screaming as poor planning, he building a net money sink compound in one of the most expensive part of the world. I bet everyone else with that kind of money would already fucked off to a nice balkanian contry just to sqeez out more money from exchange rate or bailed to Japan just to be exit in a place with less niggers / liberals and Jews...

Brazilians in particular are very needy when it comes to getting noticed by literally anyone else. When I first found out about this dude, I remember seeing some of them praise him and recommend his game just because of the brazilian portuguese support, which is kinda weird because PTBR support is not all that uncommon nowadays.
 
it makes me think he's just as clueless at handling his company as he is at everything else. [..] That's $1,156,000 for 17 employees.
At some point he is going to catch a paper audit or full IRS audit. The IRS flags anyone who becomes too successful too quickly in business as suspicious an will eventually want to go through 10 years of filings and get their pound of flesh. Even the most competent detailed person will still get fines as running a small business with multiple revenue streams is a nightmare to keep straight thanks to the US tax code. Jason with his unsteady revenue from Twitch/ferrets/game/Youtube/other and things like the GigaTrain there is no way he isn't underpaying in taxes. The audit might not be for years but when it comes it is going to suck and his only option will be to beg daddy for help with a very expensive tax attorney to untangle the Gordian Knot that is likely his finances. Funny how out of all these so called full time employees not one is an accountant.

no milk soliciting. sit and watch

the price is also localized, its dirt cheap in brazil, so that caught their attention. i mean, dirt cheap if you consider paying $3.60 in unfinished trash cheap
