Forums - Gaming Discussion - Adam Orth: Internet toxicity’s effect on the game industry is ‘very real and very dangerous’

Lol. So he got attacked for being an idiot and now he's campaigning against the bullies^^

He's right about Internet insanity, but he was just thick for thinking the Internet would react well to what he said. This wasn't the first gen that had fanboys and enthusiastic fans of the medium.



Wow, 60 negative tweets a minute? Cost him his job, then people also wanted him personally?

There are some very disturbed people in the world with nothing to do.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Adam orth it doesn't change the fact that you were an arrogant douche that pissed a lot of people off
#getoverit

Do not try to spin this into a pr campaign for your project asking people to sympathise with you.
Shut up, go back to the drawing board and let your work do the talking.

Someone forward this to Phil Fish so he can stop being such a wank and release Fez 2

The one good thing that came of all this mob rule barbarism is that it rid the industry of that pretentious dickhead.

He is a milionaire because of FEZ, so, I should he care? But, anyone that seen INDIE GAME THE MOVIE knows he has some serious issues...

I'm just glad he's gone from the gaming industry. He's an obnoxious scumbag without an ounce of talent.

Sometimes I wonder if these idiots ever browsed the comments on anything on the internet ever? People under the semi anonymous guise of the internet don't trend towards charitable and understanding. How can you use twitter and have no concept of that phenomena is certainly beyond me.

Yes, he was a douche.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Yeah, you see Mr. Orth? That's why nobody wanted to be forced to go online - because the internet is so evil!

But seriously, that guy just was a complete asshole, so people got mad at him. Stuff like that happened before the internet and with good reason. You can't expect to just insult millions of people without getting a proper response. And now little Adam is crying or what? Ridiculous. What a pussy.

"Wer austeilt muss auch einstecken können." - That's what we say in germany. I have no idea how to translate that. :P



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

There are many innocent people who have had to deal with internet toxicity, the mob is not always right, but Mr. Orth is not one of them. If you fuck with the hive don't be surprised when you get stung over and over again.

He should make a documentary now that he's at it, how do you like "Adam Orth: I #dealtwithit"?
