In a significant turn of events within the Hardcore World of Warcraft community, Pirate Software, known in real life as Jason Thor Hall, has been expelled from the streamer guild OnlyFangs, a decision made by the guild’s leader, Sodapoppin.
The Controversy Unfolds
To provide some context, the drama began during a dungeon run in Dire Maul North shortly after members of the guild unintentionally engaged too many mobs. Rather than face the overwhelming odds of the encounter, the group resolved to retreat, a strategy that requires effective crowd control and coordination among players.
However, many players felt that Pirate Software did not exert enough effort to protect the team, leading to the unfortunate deaths of two characters. The incident ignited a storm of criticism directed at Hall, who staunchly defended his actions in the aftermath, insisting he bore minimal responsibility.
The Decision to Remove Pirate Software
In a recent announcement on the guild’s Discord server, Sodapoppin explained his rationale for ousting Pirate Software. He highlighted that many members expressed discomfort with Hall’s continued presence amid the escalating drama.
“Yes, I made the decision to gkick Pirate. I felt a large majority of people in the guild felt uncomfortable playing or being around him and all that drama that surrounded him at this point. Even though some people may have not felt that way. A lot did.”
“After seeing some clips today from him quadrupling down? ??? Or idk what number we’re on at this point. I think I’m making the right decision, but still, I feel bad. Try to let this whole thing slide into forgetfulness and move on IMO. Stay safe gamers.”
Reactions and Further Speculation
Pirate Software swiftly reacted on Twitter/X, sharing his sentiments about the situation while expressing sarcasm over the manner of the guild’s decision.

Moreover, discussions following the announcement on Ziqo’s stream suggested that Pirate Software’s controversial remarks toward other streamers might have influenced the decision to expel him.
“He said that they have already written down names. I think that’s the real reason he got kicked from the guild,” Ziqo speculated.
In response, fellow streamer Mizkif echoed, “100% it’s because he said that he’s threatening people.”
Looking Ahead
As the community watches these developments unfold, it remains unclear if this decision will be the final chapter in the ongoing saga. Nonetheless, the absence of significant opposition to Sodapoppin’s actions suggests that a return to normalcy may soon be on the horizon for OnlyFangs.
