Topic	What to do when an old game dev responds to you personally.
CyricZ 12/04/21 8:21:41 AM #1:	Like what is there to even do with this: For perspective, at the top is Sterling on their recent video they made talking about abuse in the games industry (ie. Bobby Kotick) and more directly a critique of games media for reporting on the abuse one day, then flipping back the next day to hype up the product said company is selling (ie. Call of Duty). The second tweet is someone longing for the 80s, implying that it didn't exist back then. The third tweet is mine letting them know that it totally existed then. Then Mr. Williams last night replies to me as you can see. Like the point I'm making is that toxic corporate culture existed for the game industry even in its nascent years, which Mr. Williams clearly isn't denying. Also it's not like my tweet blew up. Clearly Mr. Williams is searching Twitter for his name (or Sierra's name) so any response I give will be to an old retired game developer and him alone (and maybe he tells Roberta, but I'm not even sure on the likelihood of that). Even if I have something to say to him regarding the nature of the current state of the corporate games industry and his ultimately small contribution, to what end? I'll probably just leave it be and humble-brag that the old CEO of Sierra On-line responded to me personally on Twitter. o_O --- CyricZ He/him <cite>CyricZ posted [p:960610501] in What to do...
