“Because other mean people said bad stuff, she should be allowed to lash out at a partner who did nothing wrong and not suffer any repercussions.”

You love assuming that just because people think it’s inappropriate to publicly state you are glad someone is dead.. that this somehow means they completely agree 100% with everything that dead person stood for.

Is it? I know I can’t run around calling my customer’s asshats and telling them to fuck off or I’ll be out of a job rather quickly.. Why should she be given a special exemption from that?

No one can prove they kowtowed. Had there not been an angry GG mob she may still have been fired for her awful behavior which was awful.

Also he never tried to explain to her how to do her job, and also he’s a partner with ANET and has an NPC in the game named after him so he’s not just some “rando asshat” as she put it.

Short Version:

When someone asks me “Yeah, but maybe can’t you.. I don’t know. work around the firewall and get me access to the server another way?”

The fact he listed that, and only that, specifically, implies to Price that Deroir didn’t think that she and the rest of the team had thought about it, as though branching dialogue in MMOs had never been a thing (which it clearly has been, with SWTOR being a prominent example).

Well sure, if you cut out my entire reply except a half of a single sentence and then write something else entirely that’s totally what I said.

That sure is a great opinion you have there which, I should note, is completely unrelated to anything I said.

There’s no proof they were bullied into firing them, and every indication they were fired because of their bad decision making skills.

Doesn’t change the fact that insulting them is a good way to lose your job quick, as seen here.

It was, though. If you insult, swear at, and degrade the customers that pay their bills and are expected to buy their products/pay for services you are likely going to be fired. Especially when the customers did nothing, literally nothing wrong. If I were still on the phones, and a customer called and upset me with…

I’m not hung up on it, from the standpoint of a business you don’t want your employees calling your customers anything mean at all, especially not your partners. Especially not while on an account branded with the company name in the bio. In response to an extension of an AMA which means Ask Me Anything.

As a developer on a team of One (1) (me) I understand completely the need or good employees. Am I even a good employee? I dunno?

No, she lost her job for being nasty to multiple partners of the company she worked for on a public twitter branded with the company she worked for.

ANET, obviously, who care about the image they have with their fans as a company who purports to value customer feedback.

As a company owner, I’d never fire an employee simply because they got into an extremely mild-mannered Twitter spat with someone who claims to be a player.

It’s pretty hard to defend someone who told your partner he’s a rando asshat and told the other partner to fuck off.

What are your thoughts on the sound designer of Subnautica getting fired for posting hateful/racist tweets on his personal twitter?

I gotta jump on this real quick.
