You are the damage control, right? I hope so, to think that you are doing this on your own is just sad.
They aren't dunking on the YouTubers.
It turns out that these screenshots are from a private dev chat that an ex-employee still had access to.
So developers PRIVATELY TALKING AMONGST THEMSELVES are rude about YouTubers that didn't like their game. Erm, of course they would do that. That's normal.
Famously, when original Doom came out, a PC games review magazine gave it a low score and said "it is a shame you can't talk to the monsters". (Clearly the reviewer enjoyed those old 80s and 90s first-person Dungeons & Dragons games, and so wasn't in the right mindset to enjoy a pure first-person shooter.)
I'm pretty sure that in the iD Software office, when they saw that review, one employee said to another "wow, what an idiot", probably with a whole bunch of F words.
There's no need to be polite about being when talking privately with your colleagues.
Disgusting bastards.
There is a difference between not liking and the fact most highlighted the bugs how is that there fault for pointing out?
The internet was in its infancy like gaming is this is 2024 not the 90’s, key point they said it in the comfort of a co worker not in an online chat.
If they want to talk privately use something other then discord.
I wouldn't call it normal, but it does change things. They can say whatever they want privately, but whoever posted those, did screw them regardless.
It was in their own private discord chat. An unhappy ex-employee still had access, lurked in there and took screenshots. Developers shouldn't have to worry about "being professional" when privately chatting amongst themselves.
And it isn't even something shocking. Even privately amongst themselves, they are merely using words like "idiot" and "clown".
People are acting as if those are terrible slurs!

"we're sowwy about this behavior, we encourage everyone to speak their mind freely without fear! This does not represent what we stand for here in 3D Realms!"
On one hand, yes. On the other hand it shows how they react to criticism. The reason you can say whatever you want in private is not because people would ignore your private comments, it's because no one else hears them. Now it's public and paints a bad picture.
