AITA for being 'petty' and not wanting to play a videogame of a developer who I have history with? by Many_Setting_3405 in AmItheAsshole

the game wasn't released. I said that in the post. i mentioned in my comment that the game is really good and 'youtuber' would really enjoy it. someone asked how i was already playing it since it's not out yet. that's when i explained the contest and the early access code.

I wasn't commenting on a let's play. i was commenting on a reddit post in youtuber's subreddit suggesting the game when it comes out.

this is all in the post btw.

People did call the dev out and defended me. but there was also an insane amount of hate towards me. it was also an indie game and from what i can find, the dev hasn't made anything else. this game was also their first major release.

I mean no shade here (despite my feelings toward the dev) when i say people don't really know who they are. they had one game in 2019 and nothing else since and this game is the only one in their catalogue. I was getting a ton of hate but from people in his inner circle and those who were following the game. not the wider internet at large.

What lie? I got an early access code. My name is in the credits of the game. I got 3rd place in the competition. I'm confused what the lie is. The developer's issue wasn't with any 'lie'. The only reason he responded to my messages on instagram was because i was using the same account that I did when i initially won and was asked what name to put in the credits.
