This is why you hire people whose job it is to interact with the community. It's difficult to find people who are good at this. It's also difficult to find good developers. It's asking way too much to have people do both jobs. Community interaction is so important and Respawn and Zampella should have figured this out last year and invested in someone to take on this role for them. They continue to look a bit foolish here.
I mean they do have a director of community and communications (Ryan Rigney, u/rkrigney), but doesn't look like he's had any involvement other than retweeting klein and larson's tweets today.
Good to know. Social media policy is clearly tough these days—you see Riot interacting heavily on social media too, and I wonder about the benefits of doing so versus having it done through dedicated channels. Like a fools said, it's asking a lot for all these employees to have two different jobs, and from my end, it's just a bad look for devs who demonstrate poor judgment.
That's interesting. Given how well known Klein's past issues are I'm amazed Rigney had him interact with the community at all. At the very least someone should be reading this guy's tweets before they're sent out.

Hard agree, I thought they were hiring people specifically for this, wonder what's happening on that front.
