It's kind of hard to feel sorry for him because he's not only a douche and a bully/liar/cheat, but he REALLY hammered it in. As in, he was unabashedly dickish, and proud of it. People like that really piss me off, and can only learn adjustment via harsher consequences..
Dear god... I'm curious as to how anyone would hire a tool like this in the first place. I suppose that theory that "Alpha Male" attitudes get you hired is true....
Still, the company(s) he represented are going to get screwed thanks to him. Screw finding work in the game industry, try finding work in Marketing again after screwing up what is probably the one thing you need to do the job:Customer Service.

I love it when the internet finally sinks their teeth into an asshole that really deserves it. As I read these emails, I kept thinking of the Nigerian spam artists. His language is actually on par with theirs. But they have better customer service. Nigerian spam artists who barely speak English and want to rob you are better at PR than this asshole. Just... ugh.
Why didn't The Escapist post a link to the Penny Arcade article? After all, it's the primary source of this material and you quote it in the article. It's just professional courtesy.
This really stinks of the persecution complex that moviebob was talking about a few big pictures ago.
I feel like Sentor Amidala as Palpatine takes over the senate.
All around people are deciding to viciously smash up a guys life because he was a bit of an asshole.
This is no "eye for an eye" (the meaning of the phrase is that you shall take no more than has been taken from you) let alone the "turn the other cheek" we have been expected to uphold in decent society.
We tell children not to react when provoked, and yet here all I see are whining rabid enthusiasts taking their persecution complexes to such high levels where it is them themselves that are the bullies. This is not even base reaction, it is overreaction at it's finest. Yes the guy should be fired, but that's it.
As someone who has worked in retail I had my moments where I lost my cool, that's no reason for this campaign of hate.
And all this before people go and decide to review bomb a controller that is designed to help disabled kids.
Internet people, you disappoint me. Again.

Vigilante justice is not acceptable, if he is guilty of these things, it should be decided by a court and a jury not by the internet's court of opinion.Jove said:
I saw no evidence of domestic violence, if you would be so kind as to provide a link?
Meanwhile:
1, 5 and 7 are matters for the company - the company either goes bust and recompenses the people it took money from, or delivered on the goods. He is fired, or replaced or whatever, none of this merits the demonization being lauded on him. Should you disagree - then the place where the corporate law shall be hammered out is in a court not on the internet.
2,3,4 and 6 are all personal matters. There are no laws against being a braggard or copying something (the times when it is are covered by my response to 1). Steroid use or piracy are not big enough issues to merit the reaction it has garnered.
8 is a court matter. if there is verifiable proof - submit it to the authorities, I haven't seen the evidence, but I will not comment if all there is is mere hearsay.
I stand by my assertion that this is wrong, from the start to the finish, this is not the way that civilized adults deal with these sorts of situations.
This persecution complex, born from being bullied in school has led these people to be the bullies of the internet - and that is not acceptable.
No no. I believe that's quite impossible, dear Jove. Dagger's grammar is much too good.Jove said:
