The tone portrayed by the person running the Twitter is passive-aggressive and unbecoming of a professional. This is the kind of petty behavior you'd expect from a dev's Twitter, but not the official Twitter account. A lot of people don't care. Some even applaud them. But, if you alienate anyone because of that, that's a potential sale you may never get back. Do that too many times, and your business will suffer.

See I'm finding this "it's a different account, so the difference matters in all the world" argument to being bogus. Kamiya acted like a totally unprofessional for his stature. Yes he was using a different account, but what the defenders seem to wilfully ignore (Very much so) is that Kamiya is the same person, personal account or company. He still represents himself as a person that has or does belong to a company/project, even if said project was finished years ago.

The way these devs acted was proven thanks to a boiling point that was reached, another issue that some people fail to notice. "but they could have just explained and then we wouldn't have been asking all the time", wouldn't it have been just as better to not spam all day and night on their Twitter feed?. Why on gods earth has it got to be a one way street with a particular userbase?.

I'm only now noticing this when it comes to the Ninty userbase, but I honestly fail to see why Kamiya is justified, yet these devs are not and how it's 10x worse doing wrong to the Ninty userbase than it is for others.

I disagree. If Platinum Games's official Twitter started saying stuff like Kamiya says, it would receive a lot more negative press than it does and they'd be portrayed as a bad company. I don't like what Kamiya says myself, but what he says on his personal Twitter account shouldn't reflect on the company he works for. I also disagree when someone is fired from a job for saying something unrelated to their work on their personal social media, but it's up to the company if they want that individual associated with their brand.

And you say it's only the Ninty userbase, but there have been some truly reprehensible comments directed toward Kamiya over Bayonetta 2 and now 3 not coming to PS4. The fact is there's people like that in every subsection of gaming, and really how many people are really locked to one system? I have a PS4 and Switch myself.
