Original Discussion[1]

San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

    But they didn’t just get mad (if this is the full story). They sent them a death threat. I think there is a fine line.

      I’ll bite: Death threats are not as serious as tanking an entire company and ruining thousands of lives.

      (I don’t actually think that; I just feel like playing devil’s advocate today)

          A fair point. None of the news articles even give us any real, meaningful details as to what happened so we don’t know if it was just execs who were threatened or if, perhaps, there was a bomb threat or something. I wish we could see a screenshot of the actual threat so we could make a determination.
