Dick Burglar posted:I imagine it's about playing the odds. Most sexpests probably get covered for by HR and successfully fly under the radar, so it's not worth risking "outing" yourself as harboring a sexpest when you can usually get away with it. But if you roll snake eyes, welp, you're in for a rough time. The problem really starts when you’re constantly rolling a pair of dice for more than a couple of sexpests

The cat's already out of the bag though. They're past the point where they can make it go away by pretending it never happened yet they continue to try. Like, they've even changed names of characters in-game so who do they think they're fooling at this point?

Thing is, for Blizzard this has always worked before. They don't have anybody capable of imagining it won't work this time.

Yeah, from what we know this behavior goes back to the early days of the company and has never really been a problem before despite apparently being so endemic they had dudebros getting drunk and sexually harassing people in their cubicles during work hours. If you can get away with poo poo that blatant for so long, it's not hard to imagine someone thinking they can just keep getting away with it.

They're hoping to weather out whatever legal storm they have to and assuming, correctly I might add, that the majority of their customers won't give a poo poo by the time it's all over

Speaking of French video games, the court has ruled against Quantic Dream on one of their lawsuits, about a woman who was targeted by pornographic drawings of her passed around the office. https://solidairesinformatique.org/2021/10/13/unfair-dismissal-quantic-dream-condemned-on-appeal/

I just wonder how many of these minor changes will turn out to be accidental confessions like the big cleavage painting of the woman they removed that turned out to be an intern that got sexually harassed and left the company years ago.

They changed that art internally a month ago, and this is the first I've heard of it being an intern since then. It and the other cleavage photo look like regular WoW women. Not that I disbelieve it, with how loving terrible Blizzard has been, but is there a source for this?

That looks like they just posed a female human character model in its underwear and painted on some harem pants.

yook posted:It was posted in the blizzlols thread a ways back. I thought there was a tweet attached or something, but it it looks like it was just something Cythereal posted based on what they saw other people posting, so I have no idea on the actual sourcing or veracity,. Specifically, it got brought up by a couple of youtube streamers and reddit posters, who claimed that the person who told them this requested to remain anonymous. So, take that as you will.

Thankfully Denuvo seems to already be dying a slow death with less companies using them year after year. I know it's wishful thinking but I hope backlash over this quickens that.

Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 delayed until 2023. So in 2022 Blizzard will be releasing... umm... Diablo Immortal? Shame they cancelled BlizzCon already, would've been fun to see them struggle to come up with anything to show.

I got the impression that it was maybe a 2023/4 game.
