At this point it's pretty obvious some of you want Blizzard's head served on a silver platter, but that's not how a truly good and logical person acts.
Imagine being so impatient for the reveal of..."digital cards"... that you're willing to just put aside an awful situation that has happened to other people and their colleagues and just be like, "I don't care" or '*insert generic incel moaning here*'.
You can tell it's just the bottom of the barrel parts of the community, who can't just be grown up and be like, in light of what has happened, I can understand there being delays.
Just, grow up?
Dude, we aren't sure yet if Blizzard is guilty or not, neither if those thing truly happened. Some of you need to stop pretending to know everything beforehand, because it's weird as f..k, or do you people have super powers?
This is what I would love to do right now to some Blizzard's company members for allowing this shit to happen (doesn't matter if the accusations are true or not):
Some people need to understand that many of us who are angry and/or shocked about this are not f..king internet justice warriors. We are here because we care a lot about Blizzard, that's all.
People stop shoving this topic down my throat, I don't care about that girl i don't care about blizzard im here to get my goddamn dopamine from card reveals. i don't even play HS that much but i can't watch a stupid HS video witout getting OOOH MAN IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO DO THIS STUFF WITH HS NOW SINCE THAT HAPPEND... I mean quit if you don't like it man, Toast at last had the balls to do it and stay true to his words
If all this shit turns out to be true, chances you won't get your "goddamn dopamine from card reveals" anymore are pretty high. Don't be silly, please, this affects everyone here. -.-
What could you possibly mean by "chances you won't get your [dopamine] anymore are pretty high"?
Well, at this point, the fate of this game is more uncertain than ever. We don't know how exactly all this will affect Hearthstone, so I'm really worried about it too. Things can get very ugly for Blizzard and would likely have a huge impact in our beloved game. No more card reveals as we are used to? I don't know, call me extremist, but the possiblities are there.
Well, none of the complaints point to wrongdoing on the HS or OW teams, at least. It mainly focuses on the WoW and Battle.net teams, and issues with senior leadership on those teams, with incidents that date back as far as a decade or more.
The HS and OW teams, more now than ever, are comprised of a lot of new blood that came to the company more recently to work specifically on those games. So it's less likely they'd be subjected to the same work culture. There were also people (Dave Kosak for example) who moved from prominent roles on WoW to arguably smaller roles on HS. This is pure speculation but I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out that they changed teams to get away from that toxic work environment.
Hopefully they can clean house and move on. I want to be able to enjoy these games, and I want the creators to be able to enjoy making them.
Yeah, happy content creators probably equals to a much better Hearthstone and gameplay experience for everyone. We will see... :)
I'm sure Activision will hire some new "sensitivity coordinator" or some other good-sounding position in the hopes that they get some positive spin over it.

That's vague enough to apply to both sides, but obvious enough to apply to a particular side.
"Oh no, not me though! I had nothing to do with it! I never reported anything, but I had nothing to do with it! I worked there for 15 years but I had nothing to do with it!"
Yeah, that was a very weird response. I'm starting to feel nauseos to be honest. Ben has always been an inspiration to me as a game developer, I hope he has nothing to do with it. :(
Here is the information released as part of the investigation into Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) so far: https://aboutblaw.com/YJw
In a month? They'll be streaming Blizzard games in less than a week.
Blizzard will go through another shitstorm like this, Third Times the Charm. And we'll have Don't You CaRE??????! posters think they won't consoom the next product Blizzard puts out.
I don't know, dude, I seriously want to believe they are not guilty of anything, but this time things are on another level. For the moment, I lost all interest in Hearthstone.
The real test is quitting FOREVER.
"For the moment" oh come on. Eternity is a much longer time than that.
It will be stupid as f..k to quit forever if they aren't proven guilty, so I will wait.

I couldn't see your last post at first either, something is marking things as spam at random here. -.-

Feel free to check it, people.
Please, let's no discuss things like that here. The only reason a thread like this is allowed here is because Blizzard is involved.
It will be stupid as f..k to quit forever if they aren't proven guilty, so I will wait.
This is me right now:
