Not a great look. This line:
> The actions that we took over the weekend are causing people to question if we are still committed to these values. We absolutely are and I will explain.
Is basically saying, "What we did actually exemplifies our values", or maybe saying, "Well actually, our values..."
Combined with the complete lack of acknowledgement of wrongdoing and not addressing their initial online response at all, I don't expect this will smooth things over at all.
- diminoten 7y agoLack of acknowledgement? They reduced the penalties, both for the casters and the player...
- Pfhreak 7y agoFrom 'far too severe' to 'too severe'? They basically doubled down and said they had done the right thing.
- diminoten 7y agoI'm sorry if you don't know what "acknowledge" means, but reducing the penalty is an acknowledgement, even if you don't think it's enough.
- ivalm 7y agoThe only reasonable response is removal of all penalties and an apology, anything short of that is insufficient.
- Pfhreak 7y agoI dunno, I'd understand a one game suspension or a warning or something. I am sympathetic to not wanting to turn winner's interviews into soapboxes. I'd expect a bit of training for the casters -- here's what you could have done differently. But 6 months is outlandish.
