Thor, the indie game developer and streamer known as PirateSoftware, is facing serious allegations of emotional abuse and sexual exploitation from Lyric Wulf, a former community member. The accusations detail a relationship between Thor, who was 31 at the time, and a 20-year-old fan who claims they suffered significant personal harm as a result of their involvement with the streamer.
Thor’s friend and business partner Shaye (aka RiverMakes, FlSHB0NES), aged 22 at the time—while at first sympathetic to my situation—would ultimately be a willing accomplice to Thor silencing me.

The former community member published an extensive document with annotated chat logs, detailing what they describe as a pattern of manipulative behavior from the former Blizzard employee. According to the allegations, Thor engaged in “love bombing,” guilt-tripping, and emotional manipulation throughout their relationship.
Central to the allegations is a financial dispute involving an $800 donation Lyric Wulf made to PirateSoftware during a community crowdfunding effort. After the relationship deteriorated, the accuser requested a refund or charged back the donation, which reportedly led to Thor publicly calling them out.
The document also describes an in-person sexual encounter at a convention, where the accuser claims they later discovered Thor was married at the time. While the sexual relationship appears to have been consensual, the accuser emphasizes the power imbalance due to their age difference and Thor’s position of influence as a content creator who’s well-known online.
The accuser says the relationship had serious fallout for them, including dropping out of university, financial hardship, and emotional stress. To back up their side of the story, they created a dedicated website full of receipts—Telegram and other chat logs from various platforms, complete with features like dark/light mode and footnotes for every claim.
