And uhm. Please dont "help expand this list by adding to it", thats wikipedia ;)
ThePcPirate
Im not a gamer anymore so im not sure who this guy is or why people want him dead. Pls explain as if i am a child
IsolatedThinker
This is why yall should still try and stick up for the devs who actaully enjoyed making the game and didnt set any prices or loot box drops.
Possum007
I imagine his job must like working in a restaurant but 10000x worse . maybe even worse than being in a retail pharmacy lol.
SudoNimm
Who is Sean?
SoludisSnake
A dev working on star war game.
SudoNimm
Thanks
BloodPressureIsHigh
Yeah the game sucks, but who sends death threats over that? The personal attacks, not sure but I think they were just rants.
whatyouknowaboutthemtexasboys
That title tho.
FisterMantastic
Perfection.
JupiterJedi
Guys!!! I don’t get it.
ActionArmadillo
I think he's the Battlefront dev who wrote a mega-douchey twitter response calling the disgruntled fans "armchair warriors".
WheelerManis
"armchair developers"
GrumpyClimber
However, for a small fee...
CrystalCry
...You too can own the "violent destruction of property" DLC!
NotShakespearesSchool
Maybe. I mean be honest. A quick kick feature may be the only thing in this damn box.
the4getful
lol, should be a reply to his Twitter comment bahaha
FlameArath
It’s not the devs fault it’s the publisher. That said, ~1500 is like what, 0.0001% if the people who bought it? Good odds.
FlameArath
Ps sending death threats to anyone regardless is a dick move. They should be caught and punished.
ch1m
If they're real. Or this is a distraction. Don't just believe
GeneralAnubis
Morons need to learn that the DEVELOPERS get screwed by the PUBLISHER (EA) just as badly or worse. Hate EA, not their slaves.
Stevethebarbarbarbarbarian
Poor bastard. All of this shit is legitimately degrading the whole point. As bad as money-grubbing is, death threats are worse.
smileyhat
If you're doing this or supporting this, you are hurting your position, not helping.

Can he get out? Will he get out?
CaptainCabinetsTrappedInCabinets
'Course he will!
theincrediblebullshittingman
People need to stop buying these games instead of just bitching about them.
Heywhatcouldgowrong
When you start threatening a person your argument loses some credibility. Be good for others to go on Twitter voicing against the threats.
SubtleOrc
"unpopular feature". Go fuck yourself Sean
forobservation
Sean is a dev, not an executive. He has no ultimate control over what features are in the game.
SubtleOrc
it's not an "unpopular feature". it's a shit show
forobservation
Sure, but he's a developer. He didn't choose for that to be put in. He was doing what he needed to keep his job.
SubtleOrc
He doesn't need to defend on his personal Twitter either. His use of bullshit corporate speak implies tacit approval
TheDivineUsersub
Doing something wrong to keep your employment isn't much of a justification, but largely, I agree he's not who should be criticized.
Chuletathewonder
It's crazy that he is getting death threats if you don't like it don't get it but I bet at least half of the people complaining are still
Chuletathewonder
Going to get the game. I understand if you don't like it but death threats are extra and won't get your point across.
smellyboots
I'm so sick of star wars jfc. Remember when it was a few fun movies. I member.
coachmcguirk94
Ehh, i'm sure he's received death threats. Gamers aren't nice people. Play one match of DotA, "get cancer and die" will be the first comment
coachmcguirk94
Funny thing is, most of these gamers would be friends in person.They're like little kids, when they say they hate you it just means "im mad"
TheeRealDuke
Outrage must be proportional or you're a douche. EA is reprehensible and dragging down an industry. If you blow $80+ on an unfinished 1/?
TheeRealDuke
Game from people with a poor track record of abusing customers and not delivering on that kind of gamble, then maybe that's how outraged 2/?
TheeRealDuke
You get to be. You get to be "I-lost-$80-on-a-bad-gamble-from-people-that-have-burned-me-before" outraged. Which I think is kinda far 3/4
TheeRealDuke
From actual death threats or even personal contact. It's more like downvotes on posts + boycotting EA until they learn their lesson outrage.
xizar
Why is rando calrissian getting the death threats? wouldn't the EA ceos be more relevant?
Myfamilyjewelshaveascendedinsidemeturnedintoovariesandexploded
DON'T. FUCKING. BUY. THE. GAME.

Thank you. Mom says you've earned 50 Good Boy Points.
TwistedAttitudes
To be fair it isn't really the dev teams fault. Monkeys upstairs say they want the money making feature they put in the feature or get fired

Stop harassing developers you colossal pieces of shit.

You take that no back or the death threats start buddy >:(

"EA wins X2 most down voted comment in Reddit History."
FauxFargoth
One can not support a game and not be a complete fucking failure of a human being towards the people who made it.
CrazyCatLad
Aye. The devs of Warframe continually piss me off by making new features/content not fun to acquire play but death threats?? wtf.
Klaxun
This is why I don't follow gamer fandoms.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
I'm sorry, but no. They chose to work for EA, they des- nah I'm just kidding fuck those threat-throwing assholes
PaperCl1p
That.... That was hard to read
FauxFargoth
You can dislike something without hating the creator of it.
TheOneWhoSucks
This kind of shit is rampant in the industry, for even the smallest things. Vile, disgusting fucking children are everywhere.
NachoPapa
Is Sean from EA or the guy who posted it?
FrogPaste
Actually, Big Sean is a rapper.
IDontKnowHowToHuman
Oh right, Comb Dad's Puffs changed his name again.
CrystalCry
Actually, Big Sean is a man
chepeweb
That's his brother, we are talking about Devin Stan, or Dev Stan for short.
reallynotmikepence
Little Sean is the name of my wang. Which is weird cause my name is Amanda.
Storyainthadnomoral
Yeah whatever Mike
ceramicpear
Amanda Hugginkiss.
TheS4ndm4n
Hes a random dev on the battlefront team.
Stev757
He should sue EA for unleashing the internet on him.
Martraxz
Man i feel bad for DICE devs working on this game.
ingelri
I don't.
Whatismypurpose
Yeah, Dice makes some great games, then EA twists them into garbage cash-grab monsters :/
twozerooz
Because of the overreaction or because they're having any negative effects of their actions?
queenbrochette
I work as a Community Manager on a game. The anonymity of the internet is scary. I receive death threaths on the regular.
TheBlueMuppet
WHY YOU LITTLE!
kdsproxima
I feel bad for you. The anonymity is why they are doing such things. If you found out who hey are and called them it would be different
DeadlyWanderer
He's a QA analyst, a good friend of mine. It pains me to see him go through that
Imlatetothepartyandallthegoodusernamesaregone
The death threats and personal attacks are not cool. That said, I'll speak with my wallet and not buy this game.
SocialMediaMakesUsLessSocial
Thank you for being a rational non-violent adult/human being
twozerooz
Eh it shouldnt, EA is doing something very unethical here by milking addicts, and the nuremberg defense is largely considered invalid
omh1
Seriously? You don't like a marketing decision by the games publisher, so why not go after a QA guy at the studio personally?
twozerooz
Are you going to say someone shouldnt because "hes just following orders"?
sorrycannotbraintoday
You're seriously justifying a threat to end a mans life because it takes to long to unlock a virtual Darth Vader for free. Let that sink in
twozerooz
What does the sink want? Threats are a dime a dozen on the internet. He feels a bit of stress, meanwhile thousands of addicts go bankrupt.
ino84
Not justifying death threats, or any threats of bodily harm at all, but everyone at EA/Dice should be made aware that this is not acceptable
ZweihanderOnLoL
If its true, let him know that people suck, and that most of us understand its corporate bs at fault, not the work horses on the team. Sry.
DeadlyWanderer
This is just one of the harassments he received
. He had to go private because of cunts like these. It's sad
SideEffectsOfJuice
2> actually believed to be the one to blame by the majority, most people would never do stupid and nasty shit like this :p
SideEffectsOfJuice
I hope he already knows that. I'm sure the people who get targeted like this understand that it's a minority... and even when someone is >
MichaelAndElizabethComics
I do understand that this sucks, but holy crap guys. It’s a game. Just don’t buy it. You’ll live.
Tehsyr
Every game "not bought" means they'll try to shoe horn their business model into the next game, and the next. Microtrans has to stop NOW.
hiiliveindenver
Actually it doesn't have to stop at all. And my guess is it never will.
phasmafelis
Or what? What happens if it doesn't stop? Anything worth threatening someone's life over? Anything that actually matters?
MichaelAndElizabethComics
There are far bigger issues people could actually help that people aren’t thinking about.Its not what we thought. Okay. Don’t buy it.
ShospleColupis
I can get behind an internet protest but death threats is taking it a bit too far
FernandoRumdebum
It's loud mouths on the internet though, they don't mean anything.
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
This happens every time and mentioning them is meant to distract from the issue. Just like Anita, this guy is still alive, isn't he? It's 1
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
2 almost like people have thrown around empty threats on the net since forever...
TheStealthHippopotamus
But what if I’m really really mad?!?
iTakeQuotesOutOfContext
Definitely agree, but saying this is an 'unpopular feature' is like saying 'WaterWorld' was a bit disappointing. It's theft plain and simple
SnickerDONTle
The internet? Going too far? Nonsense!
iDrawStuff
A lot too far in my book, but yeah. No need for that. At the end of the day, it *is* just a game.
Zaheelee
Finally someone here’s making sense
SocialMediaMakesUsLessSocial
Just "a bit"
Scobeywannn
Fuck em.
Sydonis12
I am sure the intent of those attacks was to provide him with the sense of pride and accomplishment.
IDontKnowHowToHuman
Bjorrie
It's not uncommon for ppl who want attention (or something to blame) to report the navy seal copypasta as a death threat.
forgetthisnoise
Yeah this will be really unpopular but this is what the online gaming community is now. Absolutely toxic and completely out of touch 1
forgetthisnoise
Over reacting.
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
No. Literally -500k comments and a fewthreats makes the entire gaming community shit? Learn statistics, please.
forgetthisnoise
Yeah, go ahead and look at any gaming controversy in the last few years and its all death and rape threats and swatting shit.
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
Its not... Thats all they focus on in order to nullify the movements. Read, for god sakes, read.
Yokuho
Why is that telling someone you had sex with their mom different from wishing death on them? It's all internet shit talk, doesn't mean anyth
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
While these people don't get it, I understand what you mean. Yes, everyone, we know they are wrong. No one believes death threats are ok. 1
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
2 I just love the 50+ repeat comments echoing the same stance. However, out of the entire base of people that these moves are pissing off,
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
3 I actually find only 7 death threats suprising. That is a really low number for something that 13 year olds throw around in call of duty
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnm
4 just becausw someone stopped a killstreak. The internet is an anonomous place and at this point, it should be understood that any negative
Nobody7713
Because a death threat is promise of a future action, and is a criminal offense.
LeroyShabazAli
ing
bmcgov1209
Both are harrasment, and neither are ok when directed in anger at a random person who had little to do with the thing you're angry about
SweamSpoats
One is sex with a mom one is a threat on your life it doesnt matter if someone fucked your mom but would it matter if someone did kill you?
afromanex
My mom is a nice lady! Gentle. Please.
Yokuho
They are both bullshit, no one knows where you live. I guess I just forgot the internet is serious business.
ChickenFingersYT
A death threat is bullshit until it isn't.
allmostthere1234
Dont ever forget. Forgetting IS serious buisness.
Theauthenticdonaldtrump
Internet peeps r not known for sane dialogue
Bellamortis
I understand why he is keeping tabs on the death threats for legal purposes but the personal attacks? That seems a little petty and odd.
Bellamortis
Also how do we define attack? Are they threats to his saftey unrelated to death? Or is it just like people on the internet being mean?
allmostthere1234
id say he would make your comment 1601 haha
JudgementalMan
What, do they expect businesses to NOT act like all they want is as much money as possible.
Zaheelee
Businesses making unpopular decisions is not a reason to threaten someone. Death threats cross a line, no matter the complaint
NotWelcomehere
Yes. Ethical is a fucking brand these days.
thedevil
While I completely agree, it is inevitable given probability. But you gotta admit, 7/1600,could be a lot worse.
ALargeAgglomerationOfAtomsSuperficiallyResemblingAUser
Especially when the post that started this all has over 400,000 downvotes, and god knows how many lurkers.
MrPeebles
This is the norm, sadly. EAWare Austin was getting them pretty regularly during a few of their bigger fallouts.
inmediasrays
Honest question: are "I hope you fucking die" and similar sentiments considered death threats? Not asking for a friend
eagleandy93
pretty sure they are along the line of 'I'm gonna slit your throat and fuck the hole til you leak'
