Sadie Boyd, the Senior 2D Artist at Arkane Studios who worked on redfalltook to Twitter to address the negative response from the gaming community about the current state of the game.
Boyd expressed unpleasant surprise to see that not only gamers, but also other game developers have ridiculed the game’s release, saying:
“I didn’t expect colleagues, friends or peers to openly jeer and gloat over a troubled pitch.”
I did not anticipate my own peers, friends, or colleagues openly mocking and being gleeful of a difficult launch.
Delighting in the failure of others, no matter how you feel towards a company, seems mean spirited.
I feel sad, confused, and disappointed.

“I try to stay positive, really, but I am human and I have feelings. Seeing people I admired saying things like “They deserve it, now their resumes are tainted. What P*%& idiots! etc.” It has been what really bothers me.”
I try to keep things positive, I really do. But I am human, I have feelings.
Seeing people I looked up to saying things like ‘They deserved this’ ‘Now their resumes are tainted lol’ ‘what fucking idiots’ etc have, truthfully, been the only things to bother me.

Editor’s note: redfall It’s a very bad game, it’s true, but I don’t see the relationship between criticizing or talking about a game and attacking the people who developed it to this level. It may be that in the media this happens more often because you don’t know these people. But when you already get angry with someone who works with you and is part of your community and union, I think he is very bossy and out of place.
