This weekend, we reported that some players took umbrage with Tiny Tina, a character from Borderlands 2 and how she used “black lingo.” Gearbox was receptive to these players, listening to their concerns and even offering to change the character in future updates should they be convinced that Tina’s dialogue was racist.
Mike Sacco, a creative developer with the World of Warcraft trading card game, was one of the players involved in the dispute. Today, he tweeted that he no longer works at Cryptozoic.
The reasons why are not clear.
I reached out to Sacco for comment, but he said he cannot legally say anything on the matter. I’ve also contacted Cryptozoic, and will update this story if I hear back from them.
