What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty in a court of law?
Why wait for that. Get a rope boys.

No amount of evidence is substantial enough to penetrate through their thick skulls. They always just continue repeating “BUT WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE???” regardless.

The AG isn’t representing the DFEH. It states who the legal council representing the DFEH is.
I do believe the victims. What even are you talking about?
If Blizzard is cultivating frat boy culture in their offices, I hope their whole business burns to the ground and never recovers.

lmao…you DO know that the guilty ARENT actually innocent until the jury says so, right?
The crime WAS committed…the jury confirming it doesnt make it so lol.
Juries have let guilty men off many times, additionally.
I either quoted the wrong person or misunderstood your intent.
My bad either way.

Just now heard about this, my first thought was “meh”.
It will probably get buried and be forgotten just like all the other recent “outrage” headlines involving Acti-Blizz.
People will be fishing for ‘likes’ over this, so the forums should be entertaining the next few days.

It’s important to note that Acti Blizzard went to mediation with the state of CA during this investigation which is the non criminal way of admitting you’re in the wrong but once they were told what to change they backed out and stopped cooperating.

In fact, I hope ATVI stock TANKS AGAIN tomorrow morning, just as a wakeup call to the morons running the company right now.
All the investors care about is money anyway. Game quality and/or office culture is irrelevant to them.
So it’s a laundry list of allegations. The investigation isn’t detailed, only mentioned as occurring.
The only only presentation of what might be evidence is the listing of officer salaries. But without examining prior experience, hire dates, and duties is meaningless. The document states that multiple female employees allege this.
The document states that the: “DFEH is informed, believes, and alleges”. Which again only points to the possibility of an investigation that is mostly interviewing employees and previous employees. Meaning little physical evidence.

The fact this thread was flagged is disturbing.
The State of CA investigated this for two years and the OP did nothing more than link a factual news article.
Sad to see the WoW team not only sucks at making games but also treating co-workers.

Since you want to be pedantic, that applies to criminal cases. In civil cases (as this one is) the prosecution only needs to provide moderate evidence (which they have in this complaint) before the burden of proof shifts to the defendant.

I’m very grateful for my family and the community we have around us. If someone in my family were bullied to suicide, there will be hell to pay for the people who did it. Things seem a little backwards in California, this would be absolutely unacceptable here.
Where I’m from, if this happened to one of my cousins or my sister, Blizzard would be done and so would be all of the employees who were complicit. I’m glad they’re being sued and I pray for justice for the family that lost their child to this.

when you read thru the statement someone posted before above it seriously comes off like and admission of guilt if you see whats spewing out between the lines.
Id have just stifled myself and kept my mouth shut instead of making that thing public, lol.
If theyre smart they’ll get this into settlement as quickly as possible and pay off everyone involved and hope it goes away.

I think this is the straw that broke the camels back. I really can’t support Blizzard anymore knowing this is/was the work-place culture, espiecally amongst the WoW team. I’m out.
