Men peeping on women
women getting mocked
All this after a 2 year investigation by the California state.
Shame on blizzard
This company needs a complete restructuration with new people.

I mean if there was any real proof of wrongdoing, there would be criminal charges. Not just a lawsuit, which does not require proof.

This is literally the same as “the game is dead” and “this expansion will be the end of WoW” type of thinking.
No, they will come back from this, they always do.

Activision Blizzard has money.
The only people who are scared of lawsuits are the people who can’t afford them.

Mark this post and come back in six months and tell us where Blizzard is. I don’t mind waiting.

Female employees are subjected to constant sexual harassment, including having to continually fend off unwanted sexual comments and advances by their male co-workers and supervisors and being groped at the “cube crawls” and other company events. High-ranking executives and creators engaged in blatant sexual harassment without repercussions.
RIP

Sexual harassment doesn’t have much of a criminal case behind it, a lawsuit is the standard practice. When someone wins a harassment case against an employer, it almost never begins or ends in a criminal one, they compile evidence, bring a case, get confounding evidence, win the case.
Sexual comments towards them are different than random sexual comments; there’s also the issue that women make up a small part of the company and are, at least claiming, to have their careers held back by a generally sexist work environment. You don’t have to care, but Blizzard certainly does, and could certainly lose the case.

So far all we have is the accusations. looks like there’s merit that at least one person was seriously abusing their power.

I might be inclined to agree if this weren’t the State of California suing them. This isn’t individual people who could be accused of trying to get a pay off. And a lawsuit of this kind is the appropriate course of action given the scope of what is alleged.

It’s the State of California in an identity politics civil court case. Anyone in that state in a position of power got there by playing identity politics.
That doesn’t mean the case isn’t legitimate, but I will wait for articles to be written on it as I’m not reading the 60 or whatever page report.
Its 30 not 60 but are you really admitting that you would rather hear someone else’s version of it than get the information from the source, completely unfiltered?
Anyway… there are already articles written on it so if you truly were going to look into it, you would have by now.

They aren’t coming back from this without some very high profile firings. The employees themselves will see to that even if the community fails to have their backs.

In case anyone missed it (which is likely since nobody has commented on it) Blizzard spokesperson has already given a reply/comment on the lawsuit. Basically they say its a distorted telling of Blizzard’s past, and claim they’ve taken numerous steps to correct all those allegations.
You can find the link to their response on Wowhead’s article about this lawsuit.
Yup Ion has to go.
