The dev is new, has troubles, and is struggling. That doesn't make him immune to critique, but like he pointed out, it should be fair and reasonable critique. Jim appears to be specifically targeting Digital Homicide and feeding off of the negative air the he is helping to create. There are some points in the interview where Robert goes off and loses his train of thought, but he's still not wrong about Jim. I have not before, and can say with 100% certainty I will never support Jim or his channel over this. He consistently laughs and mocks Robert and treats it all like a joke since he has nothing to lose. He's extremely unprofessional, and no better than a tabloid reporter.
What Robert and Digital Homicide need is growth. Experience. Time. They're young developers with limited cash flow and a small group. Whether or not this lawsuit of theirs is going to fly or not is up to the court to decide now, but I support them. I've been a part of that community for almost 10 years in one form or another, and lots of small developers like this can grow and become great over time. That, or they mix and match and trade talent to create something new and better.
Again, the developer isn't perfect, but they don't deserve this. A YouTuber loses his viewer base due to another YouTuber trashing them left and right... they can go get a real job and continue their lives. A indie developer trashed by a YouTuber 'critic' who lives by the negative air he brings to everything as part of their persona, well, once he's done... that's his career. He will have to fundamentally change his career path to attempt to recover.
People are just entitled whiners and will jump on any bandwagon to be part of the crowd.
