BioWare writer Jennifer Hepler quits after death threats to her family.

Wow. Whether it contributed to her leaving or not doesn't change the fact that this is completely unexpected. Why the hell would you threaten a game developer? People have way too many problems and too much free time.

This sort of thing (internet threats and the like) happens a lot to game devs. A looooooot. For a recent example see Phil Fish, who is himself a special case because he dished the threats right back out before ragequitting everything. It shouldn't happen, of course, but I guess that's what happens when a big bulk of your fanbase is a bunch of 15 year old boys. Force them to play nothing but old classics until they grow up IMO.
