I limit my personal social media feed to cat pictures and Simpson clips.
He can be.
With his friends, after work, over a beer. When you’re in the public eye, representing a company…I wouldn’t recommend doing it on Twitter.

Again , a personal twitter account does not mean anything when he links it to his place of work, hhas coworkers that follow him and customers. Better learn that “personal” social media is a fallacy
There isn’t a whole lot I actually recommend saying/doing on Twitter honestly…

It seems like it’d be easier in Lore’s position to just make a macro for replies to people being rude, something along the lines of,
“That was rude, and I’m sad.”

Agreed. (10 chars).

We’ll see. I didn’t find any of his so-called ‘snarky’ comments on twitter so objectionable that Blizz would care.

But I am sure there is someone who does, and that is all a company cares about

Some companies. Clearly, not Blizzard.
Finally someone gets it.
Not if you are employed in a job of value.
My nephew just joined the Marines last year. He was smart and deleted his social media accounts. They even talk about social media during Boot camp now
Doubtful anything is going to happen to the Lore, over some people who take offense so easily.
This, I no longer listen to what he says, stopped long ago when he was trying to spin doctor things, and people called him out for it. I don’t follow his twitter, I don’t watch the Dev q and a because because he’s in them, I read mmo champ for a summary and that’s about it.
I get that he deals with a lot of people being jerks on twitter, but sometimes you have to be the bigger person, and…
Yeah I’ve been wanting to use that meme for a while.

Blizzard is a different company now, run by Activision . They just fired over 800 people . They will fire more before the year is out . In these situations its the smart thing to do by just staying off everyones radar and shutting up
The point is that things like this cost people their jobs all the time. It’s unprofessional and people don’t like it. Nothing will probably happen to him, but look at how well-known he now is for trashing Blizzard’s customers on twitter all the time. It’s not a good name he’s made for himself.
Indeed. The company I work for doesn’t allow us to name our employer on our personal social media accounts; we had to sign off on multiple forms agreeing to this.
They monitor it the best they can, but of course things fall through the cracks. But people have been written up, suspended, and one person was terminated last year due to posts they made that had reference to our work place.
They even have an email address you can send links to in order to report people violating the contract they signed.
Some companies take it very seriously. Others… not so much.
This is what I take issue with, honestly. There are some things that I think a company should be concerned about if their employees are saying. Racial slurs, incitement to violence, etc, are obviously unacceptable.
Almost anything else though, I’d rather see:
• Business saying, “Not our problem, not indicative of our beliefs.”
• Customers saying, “Oh well, no big deal.”
The cycle of artificial outrage and capitulation needs to stop somewhere. If it doesn’t, social media will just end up being media.

Welcome to reality for everyone else with a job. Why again is the game industry a snowflake where we all feel bad for what we all have to go through if we deal with customers?
