Why it’s Not Surprising That the Subnautica Developer Was Fired
Oh, wait. Did you think I was talking about ArenaNet?
That’s old news.
So I brought up even older news to make a point.
Please remember to remain consistent with your stances.
Personally, my stance is: if you make the company look bad by being stupid on social media AND are personally identifiable to boot, don’t be surprised if the consequences come back to bite you in the ass and if the company no longer wants to be associated with you.
Oh, and don’t identify as an apache attack helicopter.
I recommend wolves of no specified gender.
All of geekdom will be so distracted teasing you as a furry that they will forget any more politically charged issues and unite under one meme banner.

I’ve mentioned it before, but the Price incident feels like it turned everything upside down for a lot of people.
The interesting side note that has sprung up though, is how everyone is suddenly interested in corporations’ ability to basically police their social media.
