Wow. They locked that thread fast.

There's other threads on there about the personnel changes, recent firings - no surprise, those are locked, too.

Can't keep this contained, Paradox, Hardsuit's new and ex-employees are outflanking you with their tweets! (Or in Mitsoda's case, just talking to the press.)

She never had the makings of a varsity writer. It's all about small feet.

When feet are too small to fit a real writer shoes, the new lead writer having a big mouth does not make up for it... it makes her being hired even worse for the company.

I hate Twitter but even worse I hate the amount of self-selling some developers do with no real work in their bios (or good work) is very sad

It's only natural to discuss the only things shown to the absence of all else. So when they Streisand Effect this shitshow using lame reasons they only create more backlash. It's like a thermal runaway of incompetence.

Locking this thread as it's devolved into folks slandering the developers themselves which y'know goes far beyond what I warned users about.

It was locked due to certain individuals deciding to slander a new hire based on past circumstances and rumors. Feeona is only trying to keep the discourse civil where no one just slanders a developer, especially when they may not have all the facts. So it was probably fine until it approached that territory.

As we all know, only other developers / metoo clout monkeys can slander developers!

Can't edit original post, but Infinitron corrected me, I should have said "Mitsoda's ex-wife." Guess Bloodlines development ruined more than just the game itself.
Last I heard of Brian and Annie being "together" on anything was the release of Panic! at Multiverse High (2016). Was there any evidence of their continued relationship after that? I'm sure Roguey can correct me on this but it feels like that was about the time they split up.

They were still together when Bloodlines 2 was announced. The divorce happened in 2019.

After watching Mitsoda and Ellison being all chummy in Vampire videos, I imagine the continued relationship with Annie was probably on the rocks after that.

Even if nothing was going on (although Mitsoda has a track record against resisting inter-office romances, apparently, which I found out here), it must have sucked for his wife to see another female writer working with her husband and galavanting around in the media while she was basically out of a job (well, until ArenaNet, I guess).

At least Annie didn't try to cancel Mitsoda (yet), so that's something.

A WoD Battle Royale game could work. A Marauder is warping reality just by existing, turning the world into not-Fortnite. Prepare for werewolves parachuting in.

Wait Mitsoda is fucking Ellison?

It seems a likely explanation given the way she acted around him, his previous work-place behavior, the very quick dissolution of his marriage, and Annie unfollowing her on twitter after previous interactions (the last one being in June 2019), but it hasn't actually been confirmed.
