Nope. Different races of the same species can have fertile offspring, different species - even if they can breed (e.g. a horse breeding with a donkey to produce a mule) - cannot have fertile offspring.
It also tingles my 'tism when people use race and species interchangeably.

I hope he never works again. If him posting ensures that, it's OK.

My suspicion is that he'll keep diddling until the project's cancellation, then he will shit out a bunch of tidbits on social media that cause everyone to think it would have been the Greatest Game Evah.

Why do people like him so much? Is it because he's so interactive with certain communities? Or that SomethingAwful has essentially adopted him as one of their own, or he self-describes as one of those?

I've watched videos and interviews, read his posts, and I just don't get it.

I could simply ask you why you hate him so much, but instead I'm just going to ask why do you care ? Seriously, that obsession of yours is turning unhealthy, even by Codex Standards © !

Race has always been the same as species, though.
Is it though?
Nope. Different races of the same species can have fertile offspring, different species - even if they can breed (e.g. a horse breeding with a donkey to produce a mule) - cannot have fertile offspring.

But mules can be fertile..

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule#Fertility
Eh, fair enough. To qualify as a separate race of the same species, they should produce stable offspring that equally share the genetic material of both parents. In the case of fertile mules, that's not the case.
