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.

Some comments in the Eurogamer article about this mentioned that she was a bit of a bitch at conventions too. A few people shared your sentiment. That ArenaNet already wasn't pleased with her and wanted her gone. Pete Fries was unfortunate collateral damage. Though I will say this, if you've been with a company for almost 13 years you should probably know better than to pick that hill to die on for someone who hadn't even been with the company for two years. She was openly insulting not only the community but a YouTube partner as well. Publicly defending her actions means you condoned her language towards their customers and partners. Leave that to the head of a company to decide to do. You stuck your ass in that fire and got burned.
