First, prove that a credible death threat actually happened. And by credible, a baseline for that should be an actual police report being filed, putting somebody on the hook for possible false police reports if it was fabricated.
All public claims of death threats when somebody is going through a bad PR cycle should be considered somewhat suspect unless some kind of police report or credible evidence is provided.
- itishappy 3y ago> First, prove... No. Don't send death threats! This shouldn't need to be predicated by anything. If Unity made this whole story up, still don't.
- logicalmonster 3y agoCan you please point to where I ever endorsed sending death threats? PRO TIP: You can't.
- itishappy 3y agoNever implied you did.
- squeaky-clean 3y agoTheir point is do we even know a death threat was sent? Or is Unity just trying to get the previous news about their licensing change buried under some sympathetic story about a death threat being sent?
- itishappy 3y agoI get that, but remember the context: > I hate Unity as next guy, but please don't do this. Vote with your engine choice, not death threat. Do we care if a death threat was actually sent in this context? Would it change anything about this statement? Did they mean to reply to someone else?
- squeaky-clean 3y ago> Would it change anything about this statement? Yes it would change immensely. How would HN feel if I falsely claimed I was getting death threats from members so I could get attention.
- itishappy 3y agoTerrible! But I would still feel the same about this: > Vote with your engine choice, not death threat. Wouldn't you?
