@Hailinel: jaffe made it personal. he could have ignored leigh's comments. she didn't mention him or anything like that, and i don't know what blameshifting you're talking about. she's been saying on twitter that she didn't expect people to take her comment so seriously. or, in internet parlance, she doesn't seem to think that anybody-- the game's designer in particular-- would get all butthurt about it.
leigh thought a 3d model was poorly done. she (seemingly jokingly) said she wouldn't admit she worked on twisted metal.
david said she wouldn't be qualified to work on a game at all (which might be coming from a sexist place, who can say), and he criticized her profession.
and called her "alex". shrug.
at some point, we need to recognize that the world is a better place when people don't give david jaffe a pass for being a loose cannon. it's not just "jaffe being jaffe" if he can't refrain from... "being jaffe". it means he has serious problems. emotionally healthy people don't do the kinds of things he's known for.
leigh was negative too, but at least it wasn't about a person. you can extrapolate her comments to be about a group of people (the dev team or artists), but even then it's pretty abstract.
