    Jay Wilson apologize for the angry comment on facebook


    As you have all probably read on the OwnedCore front page, Jay Wilson made a comment on Chris Haga's Facebook. Yesterday Jay Wilson made a public apologize on the forums. I cannot post the whole statement couse it's VERY long, but heres a snippet of the apology

    As many of you probably know, I recently made a comment on Facebook about Dave Brevik. I want to make it clear that I am very sorry for what I said. I have higher expectations for myself than to express my feelings in such a rash way and disrespect a fellow developer like Dave, someone who deserves to be treated with greater respect.
    If you are interested in reading the whole apology you can read this article:
    Blizzard’s Jay Wilson publicly apologises for David Brevik comment | IncGamers.com

    I think he did the right thing, although I strongly do not support the fact that game developers/directors representing one of the biggest game companies alive act like children.

    Of course he apologised, it's not like he had the choice anyway and it took him quite a long time...

    Well if it didn't go very viral, of course he wouldn't apologize. But the fact that it went all over the web, that's why it took a few days.

    Ehh, I don't personally think that he was acting childish. He just said something stupid on a public site in a brief lapse of judgement. I think we've all been there at least once, game developer or not. Does it excuse what he did? No, however he did apologize and it's not like blizzard employees go around and trash their haters all the time either. I say we cut him a break on this one and if he does it again then, we'll go gather the townsfolk and torches.
    It's true, I pwn faces irl

    First comment is full of win
    "Jay is not apologizing for what he said, he is apologizing for the fact that he got called out for what he said. I'm sure he felt no remorse at all in those several layers of chins and fat he calls a head"
