This is not a country. This is just a company. There is nothing noble in what management does either. Let’s not forget management gets big salaries, while designers and developers get lower salaries - it’s how business works. With great salary comes great responsibility. They need to pay for their decisions, but don’t forget: designers already got their monthly salaries, and they are protected by country (which you mentioned) to get their salary until they part.
After this scandal, and the line in resume that they worked for Blizz, designers will easily find jobs elsewhere. But if bad management is thrown away, that upper staff won’t easily find jobs, and it’s how it should be, because they are at fault for bad decisions.
oh believe me it should be to some people.
i was called out for saying other lawsuits in the works just last week on the competitive forums. they begged for links and i said wait 1 week lul so here we are. more lawsuits inc also.
As someone who actually needs these games to cope with some of the daily things I go through in life, this just becomes worse and worse each day. I truly hope we won’t be losing these games forever just because of a few bad apples that will surely be forced out if they haven’t already been.
nah, it would slow down release if anything but in reality even if blizz were to cease existing, the IP would be sold to another company, considering how the OW team works I wouldn’t be surprised if they attempt to make a smaller studio of their own with no affiliation to blizz whatsoever
Side note: I just looked up “Matter”
Judging by the title art alone im quite interested now, so thanks for that. Hopefully its not in dev hell or something, I couldn’t find much recent information about it.
The SEC is requesting documents from Activision board meetings from 2019, personnel files for former employees as well as separation agreements the company made this year.
The SEC also requested communication logs between Kotick and other Activision senior executives, particularly in regards to anything about sexual harassment or discrimination complaints.
I’m guessing they will investigating if illegal activity was concealed with intent to profit? The SEC will only be looking for this type of evidence.
That’s literally the trap. It’s another way to convince you they’re changing their ways rather than just sweeping it under the rug. One thing has ZERO to do with another.
There’s this belief that people (particularly gamers) can’t tell the difference between real people and virtual characters. This may be true in the tiniest, most extreme cases (certainly less than .5% of the gaming population), which is a matter of mental health issues.
It’s such a backwards way of viewing the gaming community, THIS is what should be changing, NOT what is displayed in games.
