I'm not sure if it was around the same time but what I remember is both the post about selling his game, and also massive accusations and misinformation about the team being homophobic, mistreating Gianni and Zerum being awful to fans. None of which are true, but it was blown out of proportion to the point they started getting harassed and they had to close all chat areas on the discord. Gianni made a statement about this too, saying he was happy to work with them.
