super excited to play outer worlds 2 years after its release when all the gamebreaking bugs are patched and the mod community has an anti-crash fix out
You know what, fuck it. It's been 10 years since Order of Ecclesia. Just make more Castlevania games. Because Konami sure as shit isn't going to do it.
Since everyone and their cat is throwing their 2 cents into this here are mine:
- If you put something on twitter on a public account with lots of followers there is going to be a response. You can't have it both ways by leveraging your following for outreach and then be upset if that outreach isn't what you wanted it to be.
- Jessica Price was kinda of a dick about this but everyone's a dick occasionally. You can't ever really know the full context of a person but I don't think it's controversial to say that women have it harder then men in the gaming scene, so maybe this was the proverbial drop that spilled the bucket.
- But even if it wasn't or even if she were genuinely a terrible person it wouldn't matter either because arenanet's response to this is just objectively awful. Not only is it completely disproportionate to what was actually said it just opens up a massive, foul smelling can of worms that is certainly going to haunt arenanet, if not the entire games industry.
tldr: She was being rude to somebody who was trying to start a conversation about something they both cared about instead of just ignoring him, in common parlance this is known as a "dick move". The internet responded by being the biggest asshole possible and attempting to torch her life for something 90% of them do every day. Welcome to humanity, everyone sucks.
You could have just typed "both sides are bad" instead of typing this long, weak equivocation termination of employment with being rude online.
