Moy is Principal Animator, not Animation Director, but yeah I guess the abuse just got especially bad yesterday. Shame because it's painfully obvious how much Moy loves interacting with the community.

Bets on how long before I get a "IF YOU GUYS WEREN'T INCOMPETENT/LAZY THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED, YOU DESERVE ALL THE ABUSE" comment and just mute this thread too? :)

Hey guys, try to not get into an argument over me please. I think the situation just needs to cool off a bit, That's all. Everyone is very passionate about the game and days like yesterday can be thought for everyone who cares about Apex or Titanfall. I certainly don't have bad feelings towards the community. I try to empathize with you and I can understand your frustrations. It still doesn't excuse how some things went down so I think some time off is a good thing 👍

Much love!

f*ck OFF MOY YOU CAN'T TELL ME NOT TO GET INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH PEOPLE OVER THE INTERNET /s

Real talk dude - you are the best of us all, a gentleman and a scholar, and we're all immensely lucky to have you.

ALRIGHT THEN LET'S ARGUE, RANDOM DEV!

question one, do you like chocolate or vanilla better?

your choices are: "Vanilla is better" or, "I have an objectively wrong opinion and i should be ashamed of not realising vanilla is better"

I appreciate the attempt at levity, but in all honesty sometimes it feels like talking on the Internet is like this. Person on the Internet asks me a question and is outraged that I could say something other than exactly the answer they want to hear, not necessarily the answer that depicts reality or truth. :(

i feel you. It's like some people come on here specifically looking to engage in fights so that they can bait you all into saying something bad and they can clip it out of context and spread it all around.

Example: Many people spread around the whole "Freeloaders and Asshats" comment from back in Iron Crown (Which mind you is almost 2 years old now, i believe), but they always seem to conveniently forget the other part of that sentence, being "And we love you guys for it."

It's like how RKR mentioned a while back, that sometimes it's better to just not engage and let the trolls be angry rather than engage and give them more fuel and ammo.

Though sometimes i do genuinely think it'd be hilarious to see one of you guys clap back severely against a toxic comment, but that would just push things into a boiling point of chaos...

Just know that many of us do care and respect you all. Game design is challenging work--i would know since i've tried to make a game. If you guys feel like being here is a chore or is bad for your health, please take all the time you need away from here. None of you guys are paid to go on reddit, and you most certainly aren't paid enough to take a bunch of flak daily for a game you're trying your best every day to create and cultivate.

Take care out here bro

Cheers, thanks man.
