First Hulk Hogan, now Goldberg. Seems like the downfall of Gawker is being booked like 90s WCW brother.

> All of these dungeons also follow a pattern. There are around 50 dungeons in the game, some optional, and every single one is identical

Yes, this sucks. She behaved poorly and was fired for it. That should be the beginning, middle, and end for this story.

Her employer cared. The people she was representing on her Twitter when she discussed how their writing process worked. You know, the ones who actually matter when it comes to her job?

It certainly sounds like an “extremely mild-mannered Twitter spat” in this curiously selective article. But the reality is she accused a perfectly polite fan of sexism, and then made the baffling choice to throw sexist insults at him about “hurt manfeels.”

Lmao. I love that the dude compares himself being a game dev to an astronomer getting lectured by a “layman.”

You make fucking video games dude. As cool as they are, don’t compare yourself to a scientist to try and elevate yourself above feedback and advice. 

The kindest thing I can say is “I’m glad he’s no longer around to keep doing harm

WRONG.
She clearly spoke about her profession AND used her employer in her bio.

People, you need to learn that if you want the clout that comes with a brand, you need to conduct yourself accordingly.

“ArenaNet’s decision, as you note, set a precedent.
 That precedent now shows that internet trolls can pressure a company…

Any time you engage on a social media platform where you directly or indirectly talk about your employer, you are to some extent representing them. There’s no way around that and it’s why most companies make us sign contracts with social media clauses in them.

Where were all the “it’s their private social media”…

I must respectfully disagree.

My weird position is that she doesn’t seem to be a good person.

And then there’s the third type of people, like you, who completely avoid going over the fact that this is something consistent with being a games developer in the age of public forums. EVERY game has fans trying to give feedback on the game, some more than others. Have you ever seen the LoL, Dota2, Overwatch,…

“I am glad this person is gone” re: a dead person LITERALLY MEANS “I am glad this person is dead.  Attempting to couch it with delicate words doesn’t change the meaning.  It just fools the most credulous among us.

You are right too, you are not free from the consequences, as both of these ArenaNet employees learned today.

Price is a powder keg of wtf, she shouldn’t have been hired in the first place.

You mean exactly like this article is doing? Nathan purposely left out the tweet where she called a very respected member of the community (and an official partner of the company she works for) a “rando asshat,” as well as where she was grossly disrespectful to several other prominent creators, and is intentionally…

yeah I’m totally mental and the tweet just doesn’t exist at all.

Don’t listen to everyone else in this thread. You’re right, going on the particular tweets she sent out, and the person who talked to her directly afterwards, she was in the wrong. The guy discussing it with her was respectful, genuine, and actually apologized immediately when she came across harsh on him afterwards.…

Read the original messages and judge for yourself. Were these appropriate responses to customers? Or was she an innocent victim?

Good thing he’s not doing that, then.
