You mean the guy that was helping design WoW when the game lost 7 - 8 million players…and helped support the culture that resulted in California and Federal lawsuits
He was one of the original Blizzard employees and did nothing to stop it.
Plus I am pretty sure there is something out there that ties him to the Cosby room. Can’t remember if it’s a pic or message.
He is quoted as saying:
Metzen says, “we [management] failed too many people when they needed us.” He apologizes for “the part [he] played in a culture that fostered harassment, inequality, and indifference.”
Metzen was awesome. Kind of cringe he had a mid-life crisis during Cata that made Thrall into a hermit, but otherwise his influence on the franchise was epic.
Can’t find this tweet anywhere, please provide source if you’re gonna make hardcore claims like this.
"We failed, and I’m sorry. To all of you at Blizzard – those of you whom I’ve never met – I offer you my deepest apologies for the part I played in a culture that fostered harassment, inequality, and indifference.
There is no excuse. We failed too many people when they needed us because we had the privledge of not noticing, not engaging, not creating necessary space for the colleagues who needed us as leaders. I wish my apology could make any kind of difference. It can’t"

If you’re gonna quote someone while also being inflammatory, at least have the decency to post it in full context Lil’Niko
