Since you said “Microsoft improved the product” and this is a software product, I don’t see any other possibility than talking about writing better code.
>Do you agree with Markus Persson that Zoe Quinn is a "cunt", and think that Markus was right to tell her so publicly and personally on Twitter?
I don’t know either person but I think they both should have a right to say whatever they want.
>Do you think it's a good business decision for Microsoft to associate themselves with those words?
I think people will care for two days and then forget about it. It’s irrelevant. Some people will boycott the product if they stay associated but then some will like what happened and will buy if they let the guy stay as a way of supporting him. Overall it will make zero difference.
You just really stepped in it, and revealed an extremely ugly side of yourself that you probably didn't intend to. No wonder you're using a freshly minted green throw-away account: you're too embarrassed to stand behind your own words with your real name, you don't belong here, and nobody here agrees with you or cares what you think.
I suggest you go look up "GamerGate" before you humiliate yourself any more in a public discussion about Minecraft by standing up for what Markus Persson said while unconvincingly claiming not to know who he is or what he meant.
>I don’t know either person but [bullshit redacted].
You don't have to personally know both people to have an opinion, but you've already made yours quite clear. So don't bother posting your next formulaic "but" excuse: "I'm not misogynistic, but what's the big deal about calling a female game developer who's been viciously and systematically attacked by GamerGate a cunt?"
You also miserably failed to explain why you mistakenly thought I was talking about code quality, and why you naively think code quality is all that matters in a product, and why you believe Microsoft should stand behind Markus Persson after he publicly called Zoe Quinn a "cunt" (and said a lot more horrible, sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, and thoroughly asinine things, too) and aligned himself with and carried out the goals GamerGate, like you just did.
So next time, use Google and Wikipedia before opening your big fat mouth and pretending to be ignorant, and stop getting all your news and misogynistic arguments from 4chan. But at least now we all know where you're actually coming from, and just what kind of a person you really are, and why you're embarrassed to associate your own name with your vile opinions.
I won't bother giving you any URLs to prove my point, because your own words already have, and I'm quite sure you know exactly what I'm talking about, but you're just playing coy and falsely claiming "I don't know X, but ..." because you're a troll. And if not, which I doubt, then look it up yourself.
