Tuesday Mumbles: The Activision-Blizzard Mess

Happy (or not-so happy) Tuesday everyone, it’s ya boy Choujin here.


I have never seen a hot mess like this since the Harvey Weinstein crap.

What crap am I talking about?

Well if you haven’t heard much of the news lately, here’s a link right here from Bloomberg talking about the situation.

Activision-Blizzard, the very same company that gave everyone Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo, literally promoted a toxic working behavior for everyone! Basically they did crap that made Riot look tame.

Where to start? Well we got what was amassed and summarized

They created a “frat boy” culture harassed women

denied them promotions because they could get “pregnant”

weird drunken “cube crawls” where they would harass and hit on women while on work.

kicking women out of a breastfeeding room just so they could us it for meetings (or even just stare.)

In short, really deplorable behavior that I’d never see the day happen to ya boy’s favorite company. Many people upon hearing news of this decided to burn their wow subscription (some going extremes in a total boycott.) Others, fearing this may lead to the death of WoW in general, remain playing the game regardless of the outcome even it if they get branded as “enablers” by some out there.

To say ya boy feels ill is an understatement. I feel like this mess has brought about so many problems.


So what will happen to Activision-Blizzard?

Sadly, Ya boy doesn’t know that answer and I have a feeling that things may get a bit ugly before things get better.

Though that means I may not be spending time in Azeroth for a while. Which is a shame as I was just return back to my game. Until then, I may be exploring other MMOs and hoping that somehow my favorite company and game doesn’t become a casualty due to this kind of behavior.


Until then, you all be safe this Tuesday
