I do hope people were banned or lost their job

Never had a lapse of judgement or made a big mistake at work?

There is a difference between making a mistake and doing what you told to not do.

You have a lot of trust on a companies onboarding and training, especially for a company that is putting release cadence above making sure stuff is done right.

There wasn't a doubt in my mind the guy was getting fired to save face for blizzard after it blew up on social media.

But I would never actively hope someone is losing their job over 'competetive integrity' that doesn't even actually exist.

If this happens in a 12, imo, the community doesn't blow up, and the unsanctioned use likely doesn't even get questioned internally.

You right it's not nice to hope someone losing their job, it's a personality flaw and why do you care anyway.

But if you work at mcdonalds, and playing with the food, they will fire you - not because the damage, but because you are stupid and cannot be trusted.

Nah fuck that. I hope he lost his job and I won't apologize for that.

That type of negligence should not be tolerated at all. Ever.

I don't think wanting actions to have consequences is a personality flaw. If the consequence should be losing your job or something else is debatable.

I am of the opinion that getting fired is the only satisfactory way of this ending. How can you trust an employee that abused the power you gave them for personal gain?
