Bingo.  Of all the articles written, this isn’t the most slanted and partial of them but it’s pretty goddamn close.  It ignores 90% of the toxic shit she said in favor of letting her rewrite history with her own quotes and cherrypicking narrow examples of a few people in a several-thousands player community acting

He’s not. Pretty much the entire body of her twitter is toxic as fuck.

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

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?

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

Yea I was 100% on her side until I realized it was the same woman who insta-blocked me after I commented that IGN’s comment section was also a toxic environment for women. (I’m also a lady)

I don’t give a shit about companies, but I’m also not stupid enough to think that I can keep my job if I go around treating people like shit while representing my employer. This is not a difficult concept for most adults to grasp.

See? If you were saying that from an identifiable social media account that identified your employer, then you should be fired for it.

She shouldn’t have lost her job due to a mob of angry gamers.

“Earlier this week, two of our employees failed to uphold our standards of communication with our players and fans, and they are no longer with the company.”

Good thing he’s not doing that, then.

And if that interaction blew up and your firm decided that was an unacceptible way of conducting yourself, you could very well be out on the street, too.

They set the standard of firing people who randomly insult their fans.

There was nothing “condescending” about Deroir’s post. It’s exactly the sort of respectful feedback and suggestions I’d expect and encourage from a fan-base, to be honest. And there’s was absolutely nothing misogynistic about it, so for her to make it out to be an issue with her gender was projection at best, and an

Taking the original twitter spat alone, her behavior was ridiculous. She posted a multi-tweet essay, essentially, to a public space. Someone respectfully commented on that essay and she began passively insulting him.

she was being vulgar and a misandrist. using profanity at people being respectful toward you when you misunderstood is just wrong. she deserved to be fired.

“By the time that guy came along, I was so tired of having random people explain my job to me in company spaces where I had to just smile and nod that it was like, ‘No. Not here. Not in my space,’”

This is a fucking MARIO TENNIS GAME. Does every game need to be an esport now? Jesus.
