Comment on BioWare writer quits after death threats to familyparent

Comments

Death threats are more numerous and less threatening than they seem. It's terrible to be regularly threatened by anonymous people but the fact is, any 12 yr old with an internet connection and a phone line can send/call in a threatening message. The likelihood of it being carried out, however, is slim to none. Few people would be willing to take the lives of children, and then face jail time, for the sake of a video game they don't like. As far as law enforcement goes, resources are limited and they can legally only do so much.
