Wasn't Price also fired for reporting sexual harassment at Paizo?

Look, she could have avoided her job termination if she was instead a japanese bald dude who spends a considerable time pro-quotetweeting most of the replies he gets and kept posting whatever cosplayer got his rocks off.

KayTee posted:Here's a thing that I disagree with because Alien 3 on the SNES was the poo poo (for young me) and Aliens on the Amstrad CPC was loving terrifying! I like Alien 3 on the SNES fine...but the Mega Drive is king here. Honestly, as far as directly movie-based licensed games go (well sort of. There's kinda more than one Alien in it) that's my favourite next to The Godfather (if only we'd included '70s movies in the description). Serious on edge game. And better soundtrack too (controversial) I played the Aliens game a fair bit on Spectrum. Odd one. Kinda atmospheric for the time. Not really held up though The main thing I disagree with on the list is that I would not have had Goldeneye so much as in my top 10, but obv the fans would have always picked that for the top.

I don't think she should've been sacked at all but I also don't think her reponse was warranted either, even while I understand why she would reply that way. I think Rami is misrepresenting what happened a little bit because the guy wasn't throwing poo poo at her and immediately apologised when she got annoyed for it. I'm kind of on the fence about "We didn't ask for you engagement!" though and I think if you're going to block someone or whatever just do it, there's no need to make a show of it.

I get the feeling she's had to endure a whole lot of mansplaining as a female dev, so I think it's sort of a natural and perfectly understandable reflex to shut down dudes who go "Well actually...(1/3)". ANet is in the wrong, regardless.

Other games I would have had on the list would be Little Nemo (it is based on an '80s movie...) and Die Hard on the NES - I've never understood why that game always gets scorched. Predator 2 Mega Drive would have been on there too...looking back I'm a bit surprised Moonwalker didn't make the top 10. Shockingly, as I'm privy to the full results, it didn't even get a single vote! :O Also I was kinda surprised Batman Returns made it so high...like, it's an ok side-scrolling beat 'em up? MD and NES Batman games are a LOT better though. But hey it's not my list. I'm glad Robocop represented for the Speccy

Oh, 100%, I think as an outsider it's also a case of 'Wait, that's the thing that sets you off?' as well as 'Wait, that's the thing you fire her for?' Not to be conspiritorial about it, but that's the kind of response you use as an employer when you want rid of someone for other reasons.

I'd probably put it above BATMAN RETURNS and DICK TRACY.

There might be something in that. Like, in that sort of situation a talking to is warranted but a firing? Hmmmmm... quote:I can't believe MOONWALKER wouldn't get a vote, despite the weirdness of not using 'Thriller' even when you're on the 'Thriller' themed stage. I'd probably put it above BATMAN RETURNS and DICK TRACY. It's odd that you only get Thriller when you do a special move on the graveyard stage, and only on the early versions. I believe the reason for it is because Jacko didn't actually write Thriller, Paul Temperton did, so there was a copyright issue.

Kim Justice posted:Die Hard on the NES - I've never understood why that game always gets scorched. The game was ahead of its time, so a lot of the weirder stuff on it seems more reasonable what with the Battle Royale genre and harder rogue likes on the likes of GOG and STEAM. A bit like Bokosuka Wars being mostly played as an action game instead of a RTS.

In a world where licenced movie games were almost always utter pap I seem to recall Hudson Hawk being a diamond in the rough to the suprise of everyone. The Amstrad Blues Brothers game was a pretty awesome platform too IIRC. (caveat I was +/- 12 at the time and can't find any reviews to back it up but it is a strong memory! CPC aliens was good tho. ) With regards to Batman Returns the only thing I really remember about that game and what I think helps its popularity are the SFX choices. Like the cracking and crunching sounds in that game are utterly unique so far as I can tell and they are wonderfully viceral!

This. I am sure she had reasons, maybe decent ones, but my guess is this was the one that broke the camels back at the company. She also went off on people for liking infinity wars too, and I am sure there were other weird tirades too. Didn’t help with the KIA spam. Stories like hers and personal expirence have taught me to keep rants and poo poo on SA and other places rather than Facebook or twitter.

Yeah...like, if you post regularly on a public place like Twitter then replies and feedback are going to happen, and sometimes those replies and feedback are going to be irritating (I mean, the original posts that she got don't *seem* to be particularly bad or anything but then anything can be when it hits you at a bad time). And this happens to basically anyone with some sort of profile - YouTubers, people in game dev, journos...the best thing to do is just nix all the "TIME!

There were already a lot of internet shitheels out for Price's blood, following issues* while working in the tabletop market. It wouldn't surprise me at all if arenanet was being hounded by the reddit sort from the day they hired her. So pardon me if I'm a bit reluctant to believe narratives to poo poo the blame onto her. *She was rather public about being fired from Paizo for reporting sexual harassment through company approved means. Prior to that she had been very careful about being polite and not responding to these sort of people.
