Developer threatens YouTube critics with big lawsuit.
Editor’s Note: An update to this article has been published here.
Today’s video comes to us from BigFryTV and relates to Earth 2 and its developers. Earth 2’s developers were recently joined by Tanner Rozankovic, aka Varius Benson, the toxic developer behind the failed Civil Contract MMO. Over the past few weeks the team has been hard at work attempting to silence critics of the project on YouTube by filing defamation complaints to get the videos blocked in various countries.
BigFry’s latest video shares a conversation with Tanner Rozankovic where he discusses that Earth 2’s founder Shane Isaac is willing to spend several million dollars to take YouTube critics to court to shut down any criticism of the game.
You can see the video below. The claims of an impending lawsuit are all coming from Tanner Rozankovic, who has a history of lying, so it’s completely possible that none of what he is saying is true. The Earth 2 community should be very wary about the ethics of a company allegedly putting this much effort into shutting down discussion of their project online.
