No, it surely does not. Making comments about rape and murder as if they are some joke or some chess piece to your debate is childish and immature. 

Anytime someone uses incredibly extreme (and usually tasteless) analogies it shows a weak counterpoint because they feel the need to be overly compensating for their lack of argument by making shock comments to prove some absolute extreme.

Youre lack of ability to distinguish the difference from racism, tasteless very serious accusations that are not only illegal acts but traumatizing acts and a game devloper stating a reason for wanting to publish a game themselves on a different platform is rather sad.

Ad-hominem is ok then? You lost your high ground first paragraph.

maybe im not familiar with the term ad-hominem but doesnt it just mean argument or persuasion, arent there different kinds?

If thinking that comparing this topic to rape and murder in a racists context is inapproprate is me being on "high ground" then ill stay on the high ground, not budging from that, sorry.

It means attack on the person. Its just as distasteful in a debate as his analogy.
