He was a very polite and respectful poster that offered his opinion. This happens like literally thousands of times a day on every game forum, across twitch, and every other social media outlet. Everyone is entitled to their opnions.
Her reply was extremely disrespectful and insulting in sharp contrast to Deroir’s comments.
He was polite to her. Sure, he offered an unsolicited opinion, but read the tweet. He was respectful. She was not. The company reacted accordingly.
and you think that constitutes being berated and ridiculed? by being complimentary and offering your own opinion on something? okay…
You make it sound like it’s now impossible for her to communicate with her former colleagues outside of that work laptop. I think someone who worked as a lead designer can afford more than one gaming laptop. Using your company laptop for personal stuff is not very smart, as your personal data can be logged and then used against you.
No, not saying they went out of business. That reports are that they are downsizing and cancelling projects.
Man ArenaNet going for the round two layoffs. That’s got to suck, about 300 people let go in around a year it looks like.
Just because you have an opinion, doesn’t mean you should be sharing it. There’s a time and a place for everything, and that was clearly NOT the correct time and place. Injecting yourself into someone elses twitter feed and telling them how to do their job is never going to work well.
At best, you’ll get a curt response and then you’ll get muted/blocked. At worst, you’ll get ripped into, and quite frankly, I’d be doing the latter, because I don’t like it when folks uneducated about the industries I work in try to tell me how best to do my job.
how ironic… i dont want your opinion you skallywag! your mother was a hampster! and your father smelt of elderberries!!!
hey, this is warranted, you shared your opinion and didnt need to.
Looking at her credentials, I wouldn’t want her near any game.
I think this is the attitude that got her fired. This is twitter we are talking about. If you think offering a polite respectful opinion on twitter is somehow offensive, then you are likely doomed to repeat her mistake.
?? Troll post is trolling?
She’s got years of game design experience, and her and the teams she’s worked with have developed award winning games.
Cuties is award winning too, doesnt mean im gonna watch it or think its worth anyone watching. industry awards mean jack all.
That description would fit nearly every comment in the WoW General Discussion forum.
Ya, i mean who cares about her views. She has the experience. She is a good hire.
Blizzard needs more talent and she is perfect for them.
I think you two are talking about different people. The conversation got side tracked. He was not talking about Jennifer Scheurle.
I know, i’m talking about both really. But what I’ve looked up. This woman also has the experience.
And almost anyone in any other job. From fast food workers to even doctors.
Yup, but the good thing about the forums is that developers can generally avoid it for the most part. There are employees who screen the forums and collect all the notes without any of the drama.
Twitter on the other hand doesn’t have that same benefit.
Yeah well I’m looking for a job as well. Maybe they have a janitor position available.
Cool story bro, games so great she got turfed from them.
