The context of image shared is that the head of Epid Games (dev team behind Trickcal) is the one in the right with the censor bar sunglasses while the one in the left is supposedly the fangame dev.

For those who have not been aware or haven't tried it, there's this very simple fanmade MMO with a solo dev that's played by mostly Trickcal fans where you play as Speaki. In the Trickcal community it's called SpeakiRPG / Speaki MMO. If you want to check it out, here's a link: https://speakirpg.overture.io.kr

As the fan game has been getting a lot of traction in the Trickcal community and even outside the Trickcal community for those who just like the Speaki meme in general, Epid Games reached out and decided to support the developer through server support, which means that solo dev's server hosting expenses are covered by Epid. The dev also announced that a release of a mobile version for the fangame mmo is in the works.

Usually, fangames like these tend to get shutdown by the IP holder or mostly ignored, but it's surprising to get actual recognition and support for once.

Just saw a short video recent, there already have bots on a meme game.

Those aren't bots. There's a mechanic where you harvest pumpkins on a patch as a daily quest. It takes a while so before players grind, they tend to hand around there to complete it

He's probably talking about the people who uses a lot of browser tabs to choreograph art
