Writers Jessica Price and Peter Fries were let go by developer ArenaNet after a contentious Twitter exchange with a partnered YouTuber Thursday.
It began Tuesday when Price tweeted out a thread that expanded on a recent Reddit AMA regarding how to develop personable characters in an MMO. She outlined the difficulty in crafting a unique character, which is also supposed to act as a cypher for a multitude of diverse players.
“The dirty secret is I’m not sure if it’s possible to make an MMORPG (or CRPG) character compelling, because people have different expectations about what that character will be, as opposed to a pre-designed character in a single-player game,” she tweeted.
