Matthew Thompson
Matthew Thompson was a teenager when Alexander Gomez hired him to be the public relations face of the campaign. He had an opportunity to speak on behalf of the backers who were rightly concerned at the lack of progress with the project. Instead, he doubled down on Alex's condescension and hatred of the people that made the project possible by enacting harsh and arbitrary punishments on the official Dune Discord server, including a slow mode that lasted ten minutes.
Matthew Thompson repeatedly deleted comments posted by backers on Indiegogo that countered his official narrative, then lied about deleting them.
Matthew Thompson repeatedly lied about refunds, blaming Dune's decision to not offer them on Indiegogo. Several users were able to obtain refunds through Indiegogo despite this; Alex and Matt's response was to accuse those users of violating Indiegogo's terms and conditions.
In January of 2022, Matthew Thompson used the excuse that increased job duties at his primary employer meant he no longer had time to ban and insult users on the official Dune Discord channel, and ostensibly had his Moderator access removed. However, he continued removing Discord posts that portrayed Alex in a negative light, most of which were posts that quoted Alex directly.
This lasted mere weeks before he gave up the pretense and became a moderator again and is now banning users once more.
Matt got paid $12,000 to lie to and insult backers on Discord. How many cases would that have shipped?
Matthew Thompson knew Alex's statements were lies and repeated them anyway, and punished anyone that questioned him.

Matthew's Response
Matthew Thompson was a teenager when Alexander Gomez hired him to be the public relations face of the campaign.
True.
He had an opportunity to speak on behalf of the backers who were rightly concerned at the lack of progress with the project.
True.
Instead, he doubled down on Alex's condescension and hatred of the people
Interesting perspective when a lot of people are grateful for my work.
No, Matt, you didn't actually do any work. You just repeated Alex's lies and banned people that you didn't like.
You also took credit for the Lucky 10, in which ten "random" backers got their cases that were missing parts and in some instances physically dangerous. You then dishonestly promoted what few positive comments they made and actively suppressed their many justified criticisms until you were called out on it.
that made the project possible by enacting harsh and arbitrary punishments on the official Dune Discord server
Don't be a dick, don't get punished. 😛
You were the biggest dick on the server. Thanks for admitting that your punishments were arbitrary.
including a slow mode that lasted ten minutes.
Have openly admitted before this was a mistake and apologised.
Untrue. You have never apologized for anything on Discord.
Matthew Thompson repeatedly deleted comments posted by backers on Indiegogo that countered his official narrative, then lied about deleting them.
Comments were only deleted if:
A) Contained offensive language.
B) Spam/repeat comments.
No, Matthew, you also deleted comments that linked to sites that you disapproved of, or comments that linked directly to Alex's lies on the Discord channel. At least be honest about your blatant censorship.
Matthew Thompson repeatedly lied about refunds, blaming Dune's decision to not offer them on Indiegogo.
I was following guidance of Dune's open and commonly known refund policy.
No, you were trying to hide behind Indiegogo's "bare minimum" policy.
Several users were able to obtain refunds through Indiegogo despite this; Alex and Matt's response was to accuse those users of violating Indiegogo's terms and conditions.
Indiegogo's words, not ours. But the latter refunds were incorrectly given out and I think part of the grounds of Alex's beef with IGG.
You're saying that Indiegogo doesn't get to give refunds?
In January of 2022, Matthew Thompson used the excuse that increased job duties at his primary employer meant he no longer had time to ban and insult users on the official Dune Discord channel
LOL excuse, too funny.
And yet you're back on Discord, deleting messages.
ostensibly had his Moderator access removed. However, he continued removing Discord posts that portrayed Alex in a negative light, most of which were posts that quoted Alex directly.
Hypocrisy 100%, how can I remove comments without moderator 😂 Also I've unbanned many people.
"without moderator" and "unbanned many people" directly contradict each other, Matt. Which is it?
This lasted mere weeks before he gave up the pretense and became a moderator again and is now banning users once more.
I haven't personally banned anyone 😛
This is a lie.

Okay dokey. 😂
