I never even heard of this guy or this blowup, but I think I will attend his talk at GDC.

Adam Orth is a man who knows a thing or two about dealing with toxic behavior on the internet.

Orth resigned from his post as creative director at Microsoft last April, shortly after publishing a series of Xbox-related remarks on Twitter that incited large swathes of the game-playing internet to pepper Orth with derogatory messages, angry phone calls and death threats.

"It was a feeding frenzy. Everything I'd ever done, good or bad, my public and private life, was now fair game for ridicule and abuse," said Orth during a revealing GDC Next talk on the subject. "I felt like an outcast, complete human garbage. I had completely destroyed my career, and endangered my family's life."

Orth's GDC Next talk offers a brief taste of the internet bile developers like Flappy Bird's Dong Nguyen and Depression Quest's Zoe Quinn have to deal with when they do or create something contentious. Too brief, in fact -- Orth had an hour's worth of material to cover, but ended up having to truncate his presentation to fit within the proscribed half-hour time limit.

So he's coming to GDC 2014 to revisit the topic with an hour-long talk about how destructive toxic online behavior can be, and how some game developers are working to address the problem in a positive way.

Do you think an extra half hour in your talk about online toxicity will significantly change what developers take away from attending it?

I think so! I think if I’m able to show more positive examples of how game companies are doing things well, maybe that will rub off on other developers who are thinking about how to solve this problem. I know indie developers who are making games and saying "I’m never going to have a comments section on my website or anything attached to my game." It’s a real problem.

Waaah! Mommy! Make the bad internet people STOP! Shut them up! No feedback! ;) Lock them up in jail like weev! Yay!
