Forums - Gaming Discussion - Guild Wars 2 Writer Fired Over being a complete idiot on twitter, Gaming "press" defends her xD

I have no idea why these developers can't handle the most basic of "stress". It's really odd. You probably get paid a good amount, you're probably a semi-celebrity in the gaming scene (or at least, in the MMO community ... from what I know Guild Wars 2 is pretty well respected) but you can't handle the smallest amount of stress at your job. I really don't get it, I'd love to be in the situation she was in, in the career she was in, and frankly it's sad that she put in so much work only to fuck it up because she was impatient.

Didn't TB do some bad things?

TB wasnt a saint and did some dick things. But to laugh at this death and in essence walk all over it, that's unjustified.

Osama Bin Laden did some dick things but when he died it was great and made me happy.

The's a difference between terrorism and telling trolls to F off.

As stated above by myself and others, nothing TB did was worth being happy he was dead. Certainly not publicly showing it. The worst thing he ever did was tell someone to go die of cancer quite a few years ago because they were trolling him. Which he apologized for many times over. He was accused of supporting harassment, and some tried to say he organized it, but that was because he supported people and ideas that went against left-leaning ideals in the gaming industry. Not because he ACTUALLY did any of those things or encouraged them. Osama bin Laden lead an actual terrorist organization that killed thousands of innocent people. Someone like that, yeah. Mock their death. Mocking the death of someone who didn't agree with man-hating garbage? Not so much.

I have quite a few family members that died from cancer and wishing that upon somebody is such a piece of shit thing to do. He probably apologized because he got called out on it. Shitty peoplw like him are better of dead.

I have family members that died of cancer too. I also know what it's like to get so pissed off at someone that you just say something incredibly hurtful. Especially when it was clear that they didn't care about him at all and were just trying to make him angry.

Read that article about him. One shitty thing he said 8 years ago out of pure frustration because of a troll doesn't erase the good that he did and it doesn't make it okay to be glad he's dead or mock his death publicly.

Wasn't trolling since it's against forum rules but I didn't know about his charitable deeds so ge seems less of a shitty person so I'll take back what I said.



It looks like the company wanted her gone anyway and took this as a good enough reason to do it. The tweets are dumb, mean-spirited and pointless but likely not enough to fire someone over.
