Zitat
Jennifer Hepler is hated by people on the Internet, as Destructoid reader Ben recently informed us. That's not unusual in itself, as there are few public figures who aren't hated by a significant cross-section of the online population. However, when you consider what Hepler did -- or didn't do -- it certainly is a puzzle as to why she's despised with such pure, unfettered venom. She wrote for Dragon Age and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Hepler is a BioWare writer and woke up one day to discover the entire Internet hated her. A number of online communities recently started dogpiling on the lady, accusing her of "ruining" BioWare games with her writing. She's also received a lot of heat for admitting that she doesn't like to play games -- certainly a requirement if your job is to craft narrative (sarcasm).
By far her greatest "crime" was suggesting that games should let the player skip combat, stating: "Games almost always include a way to "button through" dialogue without paying attention, because they understand that some players don't enjoy listening to dialogue and they don't want to stop their fun.[...]"
Hepler decided to join Twitter, but within fourteen Tweets she has already asked support if she can delete her account. It seems that gamers caught a whiff of her Twitter presence, and everything went to shit.
Poor Hepler did not exactly help her case, publicly stating: "I just figure they're jealous that I get to have both a vagina AND a games industry job, and they can't get either."
Everything seemed to come to a head with studio GM Aaryn Flynn getting involved. After one user called Hepler "the cancer that is killing BioWare," Flynn retorted by calling him a "fu*king moron." So now BioWare is accused of treating customers disrespectfully, and the moron in question is going on a crusade and talking about his hurt feelings.
wtf geht ab? die spieler lassen ihren frust über die sinkende qualität von bioware-games am senior writer aus, und plötzlich flamen nicht nur die fans, sondern auch bioware-mitarbeiter selber! der kampf um die erde hat begonnen!

In Mass Effect wär das echt angebracht
Am besten das "Spiel" sein lassen und alle 3 Mass Effects bitte wie den Take Earth Back Trailer verfilmen. Danke
Für mich schauts so aus, als ob die nur etwa so gross wie ein Wolkenkratzer sind oder eher etwas kleiner. Vielleicht hab ich die ja auch nur viel grösser in Erinnerung.
so wird geld gemacht! ein essentieller teil des games wird entfernt (es handelt sich um einen prothean als partymember, die wahrscheinlich WICHTIGSTE RASSE im gesamten masseffect-universum), und in die 20 dollar teurere collectors edition gepackt bzw als 10 dollar DLC angeboten. mir persönlich ist es vollkommen schnurz was nach dem release an DLCs rausgeworfen wird, aber wenn offensichtlich content aus dem game entfernt wird, noch dazu _storyrelevanter_, hört der spaß auf.
