The threat to stay silent

we will stop having a dialog

I can't believe I just read that Eric... I seriously don't know what to say.

So a dev got harassed by players who are not happy with the state of the game 3 years later? So find out who they are, ban them if you have to, remove them from the forums, contact the FBI... do whatever you have to do that people, or companies, do in case of criminal harassment.

But to say you will stay silent? Here's another thing that will happen... you choose your MO to be silence, I will choose to unsubscribe.

Your post threatening us paying customers is beyond infuriating, I want to cancel my sub right now just because of what you bolded -- your public threat. It is beyond unprofessional, I really did not expect to see anything like that. If your skin is too thin to deal with public and everything that comes with it, please look for another job. And if this is criminal behavior, then deal with it that way and keep it private and off the forums.

I don't know what to say, seriously disappointed with the way this company deals with public.

Edit: I wish you guys had been communicating from the get go, then you would have run into these issues 3 years ago and learned how to deal with them. We're now 3 years into the game, you're just starting to realize communication is key but you're so inexperienced and sheltered, it's sad that this communication experiment may never get past its infancy. However, should it fail I see no reason to keep playing this game, sad to say.

Yeah, but Eric just threatened to stop talking to all of us because of the actions of a few individuals. That's what I take issue with.

The difference between me and Eric? I wouldn't have threatened. If I were John those Sentinel posts would be the last ones I ever made on a video game forum under my own name. Taking harassment into real life and certainly harassing my family over a video game is over the top.

The internet has allowed too many crazies an opportunity to hurt and stalk others. Personally, after that stunt I would understand if the forums were shut down. They don't owe us anything other than providing access to the game.
