This is what the business world calls accounts payable.

Low price, better marketing. I doubt THQ Nordic would have picked it up if they didn’t think it would be profitable, and I think it’s fair to say they’d know better than your and I

Helluva nosedive over the last 52 weeks.

Exactly. This has less than nothing to do with gender.

Because why should he get fired for that? I know you’re trying to equate it to Jessica Price’s firing, but it’s not the same thing. This was just an innocuous tweet. It’s the exact opposite of her tweets. She was fired for insulting innocent people who were just trying to discuss game design with her, calling them…

While all the GamerGaters are shit heads, and people trying to sack individuals they don’t agree with is disgusting, Price is a total fucking asshole and has proved it multiple times in her social media feeds. ArenaNet did the right thing by letting her go. No one wants to employ a public facing person with zero self…

Well, here’s her upstanding TotalBiscuit tweet:

Disclaimer: I am just talking about Jessica Price here, the other episodes of harassment are shitty and unacceptable and I am NOT pro-gamergate here.

“Two Guild Wars 2 narrative designers, Jessica Price and Peter Fries, were fired after Jessica attacked a well-established community member for asking a questions, shouted sexism, and refused to back down. This led people to dig into her Twitter page and realize she frequently posts opinions that ArenaNet does not…

“If all you think there is, is evil, then all you’ll see is evil.”

I’m going to preface this by saying that sexism is a very real, and is problematic. I’m also going as far as to say gender equality is something that needs to be taken seriously in the work place. Still with me? Good.

Deroir’s was in no way explicitly sexist. The argument that the act of him tweeting her because she…

Yes, I read his tweets, and nothing about them was sexist. He offered an idea contrary to her own, which was in response to an AMA she had about her work with GW2. He thanked her for her insight at the beginning *and* end of his comments. He never insulted her, never said (or implied) he knew better than her; he…

Mind advertising your company and their clients? I’d like to know so that I can avoid anything that has to do with any business you talk to or own. I personally don’t want anything to do with a company that thinks so little of their customer’s well being. If none of your clients would be offended, then it shouldn’t be…

1) “Content creators” is a broad term we’re using here. Finding them may be easy, I’ll give you that, and I’ll admit my wording originally was broad as well. The nuance here is a) these creators are well established in the community and b) there is wide breadth to the different aspects of content creation. Ex. Deroir…

And an inadequate one. Emphasizing shock and awe over anything remotely resembling accuracy.

You need to go and look through her other posts before you continue to defend her. She has said some truly terrible things. Good lord man, please go look and realize. You have got to know celebrating the death of someone like she did is objectively evil.

Let me preference this by saying I respect your values of prioritising employees. However, you have the issue framed incorrectly. This is not a two-stake holder issue where it’s customers on one end and employees on the other.

Deroir is a registered ArenaNet Partner (you can see the full list on that webpage). These…

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

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

My dude, Deroir is one of the most respected content creators in the GW2 community. He’s also an official Arenanet partner and has an NPC named after him. Definitely not “some rando asshat” - he was respectfully bringing up a legit criticism that a lot of people in the community have had with the game’s writing, and…
