Man, f*ck this guy.
I mean, Pat turns me off to the point where I can't really listen to his Podcast unless the topic is of interest, but this guy basically made a 25 minute video with 20 minutes of "apologizing in advance" and making ass-covering statements with the eventual point emerging that he sees no moral culpability when a company has relationships with another company that is scummy. That might make a lot of sense to the ignorant, the short sighted, and the stupid, but there is a pretty well established precedent both legally and culturally that goes pretty much in the opposite direction. He's right in saying that people are way too up in arms about Mike in many cases, but his argument that there should be no criticism of someone based in their business partners is complete crap and has zero traction in all but the most capitalistic of circles.
If he's that concerned with his rep he should improve it. A good reputation doesn't come from attacking your detractors, it emerges naturally if you have actual integrity. Trying to pretend you're so f*cking dumb that you were the last person on Earth to know the RetroVGS was fake...what does that prove? I mean, we don't believe you and the only way we would is if you proved to us how stupid you are somehow.
One thing is for sure, these carnie ass swap meet type motherf*ckers sure know how to lay on the drama.
