Yeah, I agree with you there. Sorry if the point wasn't clear in my post. Like, I do legitimately understand where his frustration is coming from, because I don't doubt for a minute that he and the rest of the team worked their asses off, and unfortunately there is a tendency for people who know nothing about game dev to think they're experts in it (you know, the way there is for every subject.) But just because his emotional reaction to the criticism of Starfield is valid, the way he's behaving is not okay.
And honestly, on our course we've had the "you've got to have a thick skin in this industry, because you will spend ages making something that your boss or the fans will tell you they don't like, and you've just got to deal with it and fix it" talk three times already. Criticism is tough to hear, but unless what you did was so shit that it got you fired, you take the criticism and you do better next time. Seems like Emil Pagliarulo might have skipped those lessons?
