      It was dubious but for me the last sentence crosses the line into it being a threat. I dont get why they include this on their defense post, didn’t anybody proofread this and go ‘wow this part makes you look really manipulative and the last line is just a threat, as the previous ones show you have the moral capability to do this to your friends, and now you mention you have insider knowledge’. (Also lol, if now somebody drops accusations like this anonymously, the obvious people accused would be them. If they are right and the people accusing them are super accusers who just drop shit on other people for their personal gain they just gave them plausible deniability (I assume their previous employees have access to the same knowledge))

      Also: ‘so many conflicts in EA’, looks like there is more content for us in the future.
