Her role specifically. Couldn't fit that in the header. >_>
"Here's the thing, and it's going to sound really weird, but as a Bioware fan, this whole uproar has just made me so sad and a little heartbroken. The petition, the attacks on a female Bioware employee and the reaction I received when it was announced I was a cameo in the game just kind of...well, hurt my feelings. Plain and simple. Listen, I totally get that games are a huge investment of time and money and, as an sales product, they should provide a certain level of expectations and satisfaction for the consumer. I also am totally aware that games are now, after much fighting by the gaming community, finally considered works of art and, as art, should not always bend to what the masses want. So, I'm torn when it comes to which side of the fence I personally (not professionally) find myself standing. All in all, I've become increasingly hyper sensitive to everything surrounding the game and should, in hindsight, just try to avoid any reference to it whatsoever since I find it difficult to be objective when it comes to my personal feelings about it. Either way, this doesn't excuse my ranting behavior. As I grow older, I need to remind myself that I should also act more mature and stepping down to a level of name calling just isn't what I want to do. So, please consider this an, "I'm sorry."
She also dismissed the notion that she got her IGN job just because she licked a video game system, addressing an unspecified commenter in that entry's very comment section:
"That image did nothing more than bring attention to me for a VERY brief amount of time. Large companies do not just hand out careers to any random pretty chick who has some attention. I got my job by working hard, being at the right place at the right time and doing well at what was asked. I've stayed in this line of work for SEVEN years because I enjoy talking about games, I constantly strive to improve how I approach my work."
A day later, she said she was closing down the blog. Then, she updated that post saying she would keep it open, but probably wouldn't use it much anymore.
Not including the link because no need to give IGN hits. If you want to google it I'm sure you can find it, but this is basically it. Personally I loved ME3, but there is no getting around that she was awful in it. Also for her to deny that her PSP lick photo did anything for her is fucking laughable.
