I wasn't really convinced it was anything but a rant in the first place, so I'm rather glad they walked back on it when it was reported upon. While a developer's perspective is valuable, it isn't when it's as venomous and doesn't offer any unique insight. It was for all intents and purposes another forum rant, and an unnecessarily late one at that. I'll say this much for that developer, that like CD Projekt Red humans are prone to make mistakes. What matters is rectifying them before moving on. I'm glad Ori's developer had the dignity to do so.
