I Have a Character Issue - NYT op-ed by Anna Gunn

6. And it's given developers the opportunity to make an ass of themselves.

Like Randy Pitchford of Gearbox studios bickering with people and calling critics "e terrorists". Around the time some big changes were made to Borderlands 2, he was posting one groan inducing Tweet after another for days. The release of their disaster of an Aliens game brought on another round of drama from him.

I can't believe he's the president of any company after some of the stuff he's Tweeted.

Some of these guys are not professional enough to interact with the public. They troll their paying customers and then shriek victimhood when customers let it be known they don't appreciate it.

Violent threats are way over the line but not all the flak these developers get is undeserved.
