Thinking about how two years passed since.

Acti-Blizz had to pay $54 million to California State and an additional $47 million to all impacted employees.

Hopefully now they can focus on other things like getting a native Mac port out!

Can’t you play on Mac if the Ubisoft+ Cloud Streaming happens?

And now the battlepass and cosmetics will get even more expensive so they can “make back” that money.
Actually, I wonder if that’s why they added the gross secondary battlepass.

Yeah but local is always cheaper since there’s no subscription to pay heh…

So many games are doing this “Event Pass” thing nowadays like Destiny and For Honor. My guess is that they just saw it and thought that they can make it successful in this game as well.

And i think they wanted to conclude this until Bobby is still in the building.

good. their employees deserve to be once, treated better than what they are being now.

Now if only the match making would get fixed in this game :wink: . Then again. Im wondering if thats the reason why It was NOT being fixed. :open_mouth:

Ah yes because harassment equates to $54 million + a little on the side.

This world is a joke.

Is this the breast milk scandal or something else? I remember watching videos about it from Asmon but they never went into detail.

Complete travesty of an event. Soiled the companies name, ruined multiple peoples lives, and for what? Pleasure?

They’ll never bounce back from this.

It is a joke. The victims and their trauma have no price tag but business will continue as usual and all involved will continue on like nothing happened.

I hate how the punishment for this sort of thing is always monetary, and internally it’ll be career focused punishments if any. And people wonder why these sorts of cultures are so prevelant in so many industries.

It’s honestly just so disgusting and the worst part is that it’s all too common, at least in the states.

that will likely hurt bobby pretty hard on his way out but i think jeff before he left fought for the female employees at blizzard though it got to a point where he couldnt take it anymore

Well, as long as they’re devoting resources to keeping the game off Mac, we’ll be fine.
