It does make one wonder if David Gaider truly holds fans in low regard or simply enjoys making comments that ****** off anyone without a sense of humor.
To me he very much seems like the kind of developers who don't have the charisma or force of personality to deal with the public, but they put themselves out there regardless. In the end they just screw themselves and their company over by being ****s, PR firms exist for a reason.
Eh, I don't think it's either of those. He's a guy that if someone talks down to him, he talks down to you right back. People get so offended at that when dealing with 'The Company', but that's really on them, not him. I worked in both food service and working phones for a company while going through college, so I have absolutely no pity when it comes to customers and the belief that they get a free pass no matter what. Decency and respect needs to be there at the beginning before you can expect it returned, and many on the forums barely act human, much less like decent ones.
You can like Gaider one post and hate him the next, but I enjoy the fact that he doesn't pull any punches. After watching Blizzard tip-toe for years with the 'yes ma'am's' and 'no sirs' trying to keep everyone happy and civil without ever really answering anything, I'll take a simple no or that's something we don't want to do.
Sometimes you can dig it, sometimes you just think it's rude. 'Tis life.
