Well Colin Moriarty got on the Joe Rogan show and apparently has 30k a month pledged to him on Patreon. Way to punish the guy, internet.
Though I find his shock and awe that nobody in the games press came to his defense to be unbelievable. He worked in the industry for years, he should know they'd send him out to die. He knows exactly what they are. Shortly before the tweet, he interviewed Jason Schreirer of Kotaku. On the show, Jason made the false accusation that PDP sent his followers after the WSJ. This is an easily checked lie and Colin knew it was a lie, but didn't call him out on it. So why do you act surprised when a douche like that doesn't have your back?
I don't think Colin was that invested into games. He was more interested in other stuff and Rubin(plus the faux-outrage) gave him a path out.
