No offense guys but reposting her deleted tweets on the official forums is probably not doing her any favors. While it provides a nice source of fuel for our rage, I'm sure it's also annoying her employers. Making her boss angry with her for mistakenly revealing a change in her work focus is not going to help anyone.![]()
Mmm, a lynching.
When you wear an official badge, you're responsible for following the communications policy of your company and sometimes that means not having as much fun as you want to have teasing and taunting your clients. Sadly, I know at times some of the stuff SJA posted crossed lines placed in contracts I've been forced to stay within in my own professional life. That fact may not be popular but it's there nonetheless.
Employers are always saying that they want developers who have 'excellent communication skills' and who have good customer facing skills.This might be a serious option for her at this point. She'll have literally thousands of potential referees for her future employer to contact to give opinions on her dedication, effort and results were she to do so.
Its more than just a game.
Her posts in the "Dev morale boost" thread (here) have all gone, but you can see some people quoting her in their replies.

All that said, nobody here knows a single truth about what is happening internally and the hyperbole and pitchforks going on here helps nobody do anything.
I dont think its a waste , I am very sad for sarah , she was a star. but beyond that the one feature I have been wating for sins my first flight has been removed and may never see the light of day , so combat is going to stay easyer than a ubisoft game
I just hope she escapes reasonably unscathed from the management response to her tweets. If one of my programmers had done that, I would be looking for a book to throw at them.

Also, shame FDEV didnt see this community reaction coming. Irrespective of the decision background a popular dev so publicly involved in the forums should have warranted imho a direct communication first preparing the move.
Perhaps SJA did break their communication policy by actually communicating, listening and talking with us on a human level. What was the result? The only thing most people actually liked about 1.3 was the improved AI (along with visual and graphical improvements). All the other stuff, powerplay etc, turned out to be a waste of time.
I didn't want to go through every page of that thread, but are you saying that she no longer has any posts in that thread? So they're retroactively censoring her? That would be ... well ...
So its ok to get upset over sports or something like that?No, it really isn't.
I like PP I dont care about CQC but I would be willing to lose PP and CQC just for an combat AI updateThis.
PP is complete and utter garbage. Nobody asked for it, nobody expected it, and nobody wanted it. But they did want a better AI.
So now the same number of devs working on combat AI as devs working on new missions?
That is jumping to conclusions. It is just as likely that she deleted them herself.
