Also one of the most self entitled bunches out there.

Seriously, all we do is bitch and complain and expect everything to go our way.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

This is pathetic. Threatening her kids? If you don't like her work don't buy the games she works on. Leave her family alone. I'm disgusted right now.

Wow.. discusted... Metro took the article waaay out of context

When asked if the harassment led to her depature, Hepler told Polygon "No, leaving Bioware was for family reasons. I am going to be working on a text book on narrative design among other game-related freelance projects."

What is wrong with people?

Its just a game.

I'd actually be ok with the complete remove of violent/shooter genre entirely. I have serious doubts I'll buy another after CODBLOPS2. It a fine game an all, but I notice the multiplayer is all my kids want to play now.

I think it makes them a bit crazy and I think there are too simple of games that don't grow the problem solving skills etc, that other genres produce.

It's super cool how people can just make idle threats and get exactly what they want without repercussions, right? I'm not saying I wouldn't have left as well, but seriously, what a shitter.

I can't imagine to disagree to that term, no wonder the media see us gamers as a bunch of freaks :/

I hope they can trace those forum/twitter posts, this is sickening, it's a shame we have degenerates in the gaming community(though I doubt anyone would even do anything....internet courage is one hell of a drug)
