| Jessica price has a history of saying pretty offensive stuff (e.g., and in particular, a mean spirited comment about a youtubers death [0]), but she wasn't ever fired for those. I think she was fired this time because she was on social media talking specifically about work, then going on to insult Guild Wars fans and beyond that, multiple 'partners'[1]. Derior in particular has a named NPC in-game [2]. To give some more context in general, this takes place right after an AMA on the guildwars2 subreddit [3] -- which she starts her twitter thread by referencing -- where she was acting in an official capacity as a GW2 developer. She later goes on to say she doesn't have to pretend to like people in the context of twitter [4], which I took to mean as in contrast to the AMA. And in case there is any question about if the streamer was coming from a negative place and that she was at least right about his intentions, he was praising her in particular on a stream just before the exchange [5]. It's almost tragic. He probably only engaged with her because he thought so much of her. All this said, I think it more sad than anything. Jessica actually gave some pretty great answers in the AMA, and I was impressed just like Deroir. I was very surprised to see this rash behavior right after her measure responses. And to also lose Peter Fries, who has been with the franchise since either the beginning or very near it, is disheartening. Also, I think the article is avoiding posting Derior's entire original comment since he ends it very politely. You might want to check all 4 tweets yourself [6], or even the entire thread. Keep in mind that Jessica Price goes on to make other tweets outside the thread though. I guess it's also worth mentioning that the reddit comment referenced in the article had negative karma and was deleted [7].
