The first dev-tagged person I ever interacted with in game was Gaile. Before I was active on this subreddit or their forums. I saw the tag and walked up to talk to her. As someone who did game development in the past, I was more than a little surprised to see someone flaunting a game tag. She talked to me for a few minutes, being super polite and friendly. She had to be getting peppered with tells, and was also talking in map chat. Made a big impression on me, and I bet she doesn't even remember it.
Every map I've ever been in that has had a Gaile spotting has had people cheering her on. This is a highly disappointing move - if more games had a 'Gaile', they'd have a lot more happy communities.
Since I'm pretty sure she reads here, good luck u/GaileGray - may you and The Frog travel well.
