Not that it matters since he's banned, but if anyone else was curious;

Basically, the easiest/hardest job to get (no actual talent required/lots of competition), but also very easy to screw up. Most bad games are because of a producer with zero understanding of what makes a game entertaining - a lot of them probably don't even play games, so kind of like marketing hires, and marketing has a firm control over the business these days since that's where the money will come from. A game that can reach and sell to the widest audience is better than a game that appeals to that niche crowd (at least to them, and that's what will get the most pats on the back at the end of it all). This is why crowdfunding is becoming so successful for the more hardcore gaming crowd, because it's usually not about the money.

She probably got knocked up

Is Windstalker named after her, or not? I thought yes.

No. She took the already pre existing character and tied her nickname to it.

Just like that, my appreciation evaporates!

She came late and presided over the decline. Boo!

She did more than preside, that [expletive] was the driving force for EQ2, along with most of the design ideas in EQ2 till it bombed like 6 months- year later then she came back to EQ1 and helped drive that into the dirt because she is a corporate shill hiding as a game designer

What thread?

My duo partner and I make dumb bets where the loser has to help camp some god forsaken item that's usually incredibly time consuming but not even usable. Occasionally involving posting dumb troll threads with specific page numbers or staff posts required. I bet him I could make a RnF post that went 10 pages in 24 hrs.
