Getting the fuck out of that environment 5 months ago was the best move of my life: Manveer Heir

Yay! Cats and popcorn!

As the cat on the right, I can't wait to see who says the first terrible thing and who will get the last stab in before the thread is locked. Since I have been reading more than posting lately, I have my own bets on who will do what (but perhaps I will be surprised this time around).

As the cat on the left, I wonder why anyone cares what this crap ex-Bioware employee has to say about anything. The chip on his shoulder must painful at this point.

As a pangolin...I wonder if I can just start blaming M.H. for the lack of volus in the MEA. I need a scapegoat, damnit!!

Me too. My handmade foam sword needs a target.

Stay?

As the cat on the left, I wonder why anyone cares what this crap ex-Bioware employee has to say about anything.

It strikes me as the same sort of mentality that wastes times clicking on anything that promotes gossip about any current (or washed up) celebrity. Apparently, some people are invested in the personal lives of anyone who may have ever been involved in the development of a popular media product. Gossip rags are pretty profitable.

Also, anything that can feed confirmation bias is attractive to some.

Heir is auditioning for a new job as an alt-right troll.

My personal mottoes:

1) I would rather be hated for being honest than being loved as a liar.

2) I don't lose to my problems, I conquer them!

I'm not sure which I find more amusing, the nick names for this douchebag dev that is Manveer Heir or the cult fascination a few have with some Kotaku article.

He calls himself King Curry Thunder on Twitter. Though the irony of us calling him that for being racist would be delightful.

How much long before some of the forum's drones say he's wrong? This thread will be magnificent.

FFS, I'd rather you not call people here forum drones, unless you talk about pouf/fluffy then I'm ok with it.
When it comes to my posts about this article, I mean the guy was making some pretty nasty statements towards white people on his twitter feed, then on Rev3games he went on saying something like, "We need more diversity in games." I mean what was going on there was hypocritical. To me this article kinda seems like he's trying to go, "Hey, wait a minute everyone, this is why I was making those racist statements!". Plus Suikoden is a controversial poster on here. That's my reasoning for dismissing OP. It's possible that several other people left Bioware during development for similar reasons.

I've been called hater and whatnot. Let me have my fun now. You will just have to accept it.

Anyways, I don't like the guy too but his tweets are move evidence of the shit storm that was coming up with this game. It's impossible to dismiss that. He worked for seven years at BioWare, and only now left them. It's no surprise that Montreal is basically done atm.

Just because you've been called a hater (and other things) doesn't mean you should call people drones. It's wrong either way.

If someone back then told me that he would become a governor I would've bet my life savings against that. The last two decades have been a real acid trip for me.

Eh. Idc that you hate the game, that's your opinion, I just have a problem when you start calling people like me "forum drones". (Unless you're referring to Pouf)
Could it be possible that other members of the team left for similar reasons?
