[11] Price has been a writer for Dungeons & Dragons on sourcebooks such as Mythic Odysseys of Theros (2020)[12] and Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft (2021).
One guy had a history of violence, and clenched his fists and came close to taking a swing at me when I told him he had to stop touching me and talking about my breasts.
The response from my chain of command was still, basically, “Deal with it yourself.”[2] Katie Mettler, for the Washington Post, reported that for the first time there would be more female than male speakers at 2016 Gen Con.
[1] Tim Mulkerin, for Mic, interviewed Price in 2017 on why video game developers need to release diversity reports.
[14] On July 5, 2018, ArenaNet founder Mike O'Brien announced that two game developers, Price and Peter Fries, had been fired from the company following a heated Twitter exchange with a community member.
[16][17][18] Megan Farokhmanesh, for Verge, reported that "on July 3rd, narrative designer Price tweeted a 29-tweet thread dissecting the challenges of writing player characters in an MMORPG.
Price both replied directly to Deroir, tweeting 'thanks for trying to tell me what we do internally, my dude,' and retweeted his response with the caption 'today in being a female game dev'".
I’ve got recruiters pinging me promising they’ll steer candidates away from ArenaNet, and game design professors saying they’re going to warn their students away.
I’ve also had a lot of ArenaNet co-workers and other industry colleagues contacting me to express how afraid this has made them.
[20] Farokhmanesh wrote that "ArenaNet’s swift action to fire both Price and Fries sends a disturbing message to its fans, and especially its most toxic ones: that their power is directly correlated to how loud they yell.
It’s a worrying precedent for anyone interested in working for ArenaNet, but especially those in marginalized communities that are more likely to face blowback and harassment from the worst parts of its fanbase".
