Wtf. Anyone have the back story on this?

Allegedly, someone (likely a hater of this dev) reported that this dev was going to kill his partner then himself. Armed police turned up.

But still, why would someone swat over something like this? Seems insane

Because he streamed. Streaming turns to swatting nearly every time if you don’t protect your location information.
