Also this wasn't just some "rando asshat" player either, he's one of the more influential players in the community from what I understand.

Kind of the equivalent of a low to mid level employee of a university insulting a major donor. No shit they're gonna get fired.

"I was just trolling!"

You're getting more and more ridiculous with every post.

Either ghost out of the topic or just admit that what Price did was bad. Either option will save you some credibility.

There is no "may or may not", he was objectively respectful about it.

That doesn't matter, which is why I worded it that way.

But it's still true that a dev berating even rude customers as she did is inappropriate.

Btw the only "journalism outlets" that came out in support of her were Kotaku, Polygon and Buzzfeed. The same ones that are universally mocked by the public, both gamers and non-gamers alike

lmao. Sorry to break it to you fam, but the general public doesn't think women are so delicate that they can't be criticized for anything and need to be treated with kid gloves. I noticed you continuously ignored that she was fired over more than just the tweet too; she has had a history of being shitty and got fired from all of her previous jobs for that as well

"B-b-b-b-b-but muh sexism" nah stfu


I guess her peers coming out in support of her universally mocked too?

Way to continue to ignore a documented Twitter history of her being a terrible human and getting fired from past jobs for the same shit.

TLDR: Price still doesn't get it and the IGDA is intentionally braindead.

So she's gonna triple down and refuse to accept she's was a fucking c*** towards this person and she's at fault?

She's allowed to be as shitty as she wants because she's a "proud feminist." Anybody who criticizes her must hate women. She's also allowed to celebrate someone's death because he was briefly associated with Gamergate.

How many lifetime warnings does one need for being grossly unprofessional? She should just continue to be openly hostile to whoever she wants, and she needs warnings beforehand? Imagine if your doctor talked down to you like that because you refused a vaccine and she felt slighted by your attempt to tell her how to do her job.
