    You know the reason they're going after Grummz so hard is because they're trying to make an example of him. They want to use Grummz to say to other people in the industry, "This is what happens when you talk." They want to make everyone afraid to speak out.

      You are exactly right and that is one of the major contributing factors to today's problems. These people weren't allowed to grow up. They've been coddled and told how special they are, protected from getting their feelings hurt and never allowed to experience normal adolescence where they could develop the skills necessary to cope with adulthood. Now they are adults in name only with no life skills or experiences to draw on and all they can do is lash out in anger.

      Nick simply investigated Grummz’s history as a game developer and shared what he found. Gigabear, who is Grummz’s friend, created a fake account, fabricated evidence and then tried to entrap Nick by manipulating him into running a false story in order to discredit him. It’s likely that Grummz and Giga colluded to do it as well, since Grummz immediately shared the result afterwards. Who looks like the unhinged one here?

      Some people made fake games on Steam to show that the platforms greenlights anything.
