'Have fun': Pirate Software fires back after Billy Mitchell says 'Pirate Software will be sued'
When Billy Mitchell posted a cryptic 'Pirate Software will be sued' tweet, the internet lit up. Known for arcade world records and equally infamous lawsuits, Mitchell stirred things again—this time aiming directly at indie dev and Twitch streamer Pirate Software.
But Pirate didn't flinch. In fact, his reaction was live, raw, and dismissive.
Billy Mitchell's Threat: Vague and Unexpected
On July 5, Billy Mitchell took to X (formerly Twitter) with a short, explosive statement: 'Pirate Software will be sued.' No background. No details. Just a single sentence laced with legal intent. For those familiar with Mitchell's litigious past, the tweet felt in-character. But for most, it was a curveball with no obvious context.

Pirate Software Learns Live, Reacts Instantly
Pirate Software, run by streamer Thor, was mid-stream playing
Dune: Awakening
when the post was brought to his attention by a viewer.
At first, Thor seemed confused—thinking the chatter was about Mitchell's hot sauces. But once he actually saw the tweet, his response was instant and unfiltered.
Laughing off the post, Thor casually remarked,
'Oh, he's just insane… I'll just send it over to my legal team. Whatever, man. Have fun.'
There was no panic, no serious concern—just a creator who's clearly dealt with this kind of chaos before.
Ongoing Tension from the Stop Killing Games Campaign?
This drama didn't emerge from a vacuum.
Pirate Software recently voiced strong opinions about the Stop Killing Games (SKG) movement, which criticizes game companies for shutting down digital access to games consumers have purchased.
Mitchell's History of Legal Grudges
Billy Mitchell is no stranger to legal controversy. From courtroom battles over his high-score legitimacy to feuds with content creators like Karl Jobst, he's built a reputation for fighting back—often with lawyers involved.
Whether this is more of the same or something new altogether remains to be seen.
No Lawsuit Filed (Yet)
As of now, there's no actual lawsuit or official legal filing against Pirate Software. It's all just a vague threat hanging in the digital air. But Pirate's community, already loyal, has rallied with memes, mockery, and defense of Thor's blunt reaction.

'He isn't talking': CaseOh's mom shares health update as fans await streamer's return on Twitch
Twitch star CaseOh is taking time off, and now we know why. In a heartfelt update posted by his mom on Discord, fans got a clearer picture of what's been going on behind the scenes. While his signature over-the-top streams have been on hold, the concern has been rising. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now From ear pain to jaw issues, CaseOh's recovery has been anything but smooth, but things might finally be turning a corner. A tough week for CaseOh and his community CaseOh, whose real name is Case Baker, hasn't been active on Twitch since early July, sparking speculation among viewers. But it was his mother who first broke the silence on July 6, confirming that the streamer was battling a serious ear infection. She described it as a painful, exhausting ordeal that affected his hearing, sleep, and even jaw mobility — all of which made streaming nearly impossible. While his signature chaotic energy was missing from their timelines, fans knew the absence wasn't without reason. CaseOh's swelling spread and caused discomfort Just as the ear inflammation seemed to be improving, the swelling spread. In a message posted on July 11, CaseOh's mom revealed that the infection had moved into his jaw, causing TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues. She mentioned that his ear was 'almost completely shut' from the swelling and that he was experiencing severe jaw discomfort, leading to minimal speech and continued rest. A glimmer of good news On July 12, the family shared a more optimistic update. According to his mom, CaseOh's pain had finally started to decrease, and the ear swelling had gone down significantly. 'Praise report!' she wrote. But she was quick to add that the jaw was still 'pretty swollen' and not completely back to normal. Case had been staying quiet to avoid aggravating it, and was still fatigued from the constant pain. Despite the lingering symptoms, there's now a target for recovery: Sunday, July 13. That's when he hopes to be 'back to himself,' though it's unclear if that also means a return to streaming. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Fans stay hopeful as CaseOh eyes comeback With over 7.2 million followers and a spot in the top three most-subscribed Twitch streamers, CaseOh's absence has definitely been felt. Though he lost nearly 5,000 subs during his hiatus, his core community hasn't wavered. Between health updates and continued fan support, CaseOh's slow road to recovery is at least headed in the right direction. Whether he returns this Sunday or takes a little more time, one thing's clear: the Twitch world is ready to welcome him back, jaw, jokes, and all.

Reflecting on his lap, Pitt said on the Beyond the Grid podcast, 'I got to hit 197 mph this week. I really wanted to hit 200. You know, it hurts me a little bit — three miles per hour short on the straight. This was at Austin. I've just never experienced anything with more presence in my life. You're so focused, but you're not white-knuckling. You're just in this sublime groove. It is really extraordinary.' 'I try to explain this feeling of downforce, and I fail every time. You try to compare it to a rollercoaster, but that's not even close, because you feel the fulcrum point underneath you—you're in it. I was in an aerobatic plane once, and it's the closest thing, but even that doesn't compare. This is such a unique sensation—an absolute high. I'm still riding that high, I really am,' he added.
