Definition of a threat:
a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action on someone in retribution for something done or not done.
Let’s assume for a second that the Apollo dev DID in fact mean what they thought he meant at first. Can someone explain to me how that would make it a threat? "Buy my app, or else… " what? Or else what? In what universe could that even have been a threat?
I keep thinking back on this and how this whole argument about whether or not it was a threat is a complete red herring because there was nothing he can threaten them WITH, so how can you construe it as a threat?
he was being sarcastic and whoever he was talking to from reddit never considered he might be recorded. probably soon this tail to try to score points with spez. big mistake
It wasn’t even sarcastic, it was barely a poor choice of words, just that Reddit could make it quiet (as in API calls, reddits claim was that Apollo was too “loud”) by buying it
