When it comes to abusive independent developers over the last few months, you really can’t find a much better candidate than Varius Benson. Varius Benson is the project lead of Capital Gaming RP, an indie outfit currently in the middle of creating the game Civil Contract, a roleplaying game set in Australia. Benson has also gotten into hot water over the past couple of months due to his attempts to silence negative commentary about his game, going as far as allegedly abusing the DMCA system to extort various Youtube hosts into removing negative videos about his title.
For more information on Varius Benson’s antics, I recommend checking out the videos below. It looks like Benson’s inability to handle criticism has reached a new height (or new low) as early this morning he announced that all feedback via Discord would come to an end, and that the social media app generally used for discussion would no longer be used for discussion. Benson’s statement is above as posted.
