I was just trying to fulfill stereotypes as a joke.
Never want people to be out of a job but Daylight was a terrible game. Huge disappointment.
Guys, Anthony Gallegos apologized about that tweet months ago...

Why do people get so worked up when someone insults GAF? It's not like they're coming after your loved ones. It's a discussion forum. Unless someone is directly calling you out, don't fret.
Anybody who thinks twice about GAF getting jabbed on Twitter is definitely part of the problem.All of the people that are on NeoGAF who actually are anal for starters. - Look around, there's plenty.
Since when are NeoGAF posters so sacred and cannot be insulted? If we dish it out the way we do (some of the posts are really really mean), we should be able to take it.What he said about NeoGAF sucks, but his apology makes it all okay. It's very unfortunate that he's unemployed, I hope he finds something very soon.
Well, he DID say "All of Neogaf". But like I said, I think the apology is enough and I'm sure he's genuinely smart enough to realize that statement was a bit uncalled for.
Chobot keeps her job lol?, seriously that Polygon documentary/promo made it seem like she invented the entire game

At the end of the day, many of us are still disgruntled gaming nobodies venting our life frustrations via the safety of internet anonymity.
Some people like to poke bee hives.. then get all upset when the bees come out.. then they want to blow up the bee hives with C4 because the bees got mad.
Anthony, if your reading this, I think Giant Bomb West just lost a crucial podcast member, fancy getting back in the journo game?
Anyway, he's a great guy, and talented to the point that I know he'll be fine.

"sorry for insulting potential customers and sticking up for someone who was too stupid/lazy to do research and fall back on the "lol internet nerds" defense"
because hey, why the hell should anyone make sure what they're reporting is legitimate?
Who cares if they insult GAF. It's why they're doing it.
Instead of just admitting they fucked up on something, it's always "those guys are assholes"
Yep. we're assholes because instead of making sure you're writing facts, you were just thinking about that sweet bribe some publisher just gave you. Shit, you don't even need to do research, play the damn games yourself.
That should normally go without saying, so why bother making the comment at all? Do you say the same thing when a server at McDonald's forgets to put pickles on a burger? If it truly isn't that big a deal, then why act at all, particularly in a way that could be so misconstrued?Thought so; this is a situation of reading into things too deeply. If it was meant to be passive aggressive, I'd make it clear.

Poor Chuf, I hope he lands on his feet so he can fullfill his dream of doors in video games that explode.
So I guess that's what happens when you work on a game that turns out like that.
Bee hive analogy is a poor choice when that's exactly what GAF is often called - a hive mind - and many rebut that it is not.
If GAF isn't a hive mind, then it shouldn't behave as one.
Like what?
I'm not familiar with the game.
Well, it has a really bad method of gating the next level. Like, a I-can't-believe-they-thought-this-was-a-good-idea sort of "bad."
If you want to see it in action, Giant Bomb has a Quick Look Solo of Daylight featuring Patrick Klepek. The poor design in the game is made readily apparent partway through the video - you'll know it when you see it. It's a really dire design decision on their part.
I would tell you myself, but seeing it in action is much more powerful, such that I don't want to spoil it.
For the posters who attacked him, did they apologize to him? Do we actively chastise them for their behavior? In the end when we join a collective, like a political party, we can have individual thoughts but will be still defined by the opinions most vocal.He can attack us if he wants, but it doesn't make it fair or ok? I'm a neogaf member, so he was insulting me for absolutely no reason.
I do take some issue with us making arbitrary standards on what is appropriate, childish or professional. I mean, what do we know about professionalism? Do we have experience working in this type of environment? It's weird when we are judging people with standards which are not applied to our own, from the safety of our anonymity so our expressed internet convictions are disjointed from our actual RL history.That wasn't a nice, professional, or even fair thing to do, so I didn't like it.
I know that some posts here are mean, but I try to avoid that, and comments like the one he made are uncalled for, stupid, and only fuel aggressivity that is childish and unnecessary.

lol, hope he gets a new job quick.
edit: nvm, he can f off and get a job.
edit: saw his apology, good luck big guy.
