the refrigerator thing is a joke becuase he unplugs his fridge at night because chinese children are dying

yes, its something HE SAID TO ME

he doesnt actually live in a co-op he lives in a town with a farming commune that he gets his produce from

its not that hes a sell-out, its just that he never had the ideals he presented himself to have in the first place

In this day and age finding a job and keeping it is hard, people just need to see that sometimes you would have to compromise.

Indie is not a bohemian revolution, where an individual and his/her family should starve to death just to be part of that revolution.

I think that it’s equally unfair for everyone to spring forth to defend him, seeing as how it is unlikely that anyone here actually knows the guy.

Either way, who cares? The man got a job. Let him be.

Jason has always been pretty transparent with his living situation. He was in fact living off of very meager wages from an unidentified investor basically without any other income to support his family. He also lives on a co-op trying to do the whole self sustaining thing. That being said, I’m pretty sure he talked about his concerns with not being able to live off of no money. There’s actually a really good interview with him on the at1up podcast from 04/02/2009 that I think does a lot to tell you about the character of Jason Rohrer. Of course, this crap always happens in any indie scene. The second someone makes a little money, someone else is going to call them a sellout. I think pixelante needs to cool down a little.

He has a wife and 2 kids to support and times are tough. Anyone calling him a sellout clearly hasn’t ever had to deal with that.

Perhaps. I don’t know Jason, although he certainly has made a name for himself. Regardless of his fame, though, this recent batch of criticism is not valid in my eyes.

I’m pretty sure Jason has been living off the largess of an unidentified investor, a sponser if you will, for a number of years. Perhaps the cash ran out. Based on TOOLS online portfolio, I’m not impressed. Perhaps what Jason excels at most is selling himself.
