"BOTH sides will do their best to prove their point and so the chances to get to the truth are much much higher."

You're an intelligent one. I never knew that using the court of public opinion in an uneducated assault without facts had this effect.

Because of dopes like you a lot of us lost a lot of needed escape in getting excited for new cards. But of course I'm "Bootlickus Bootlickus" as you like to call me and the others who view Hearthstone as an escape from social justice crap.

Wanting to see the cards is not about disrespecting alleged victims of harassment. It's about a whole group of people waiting for a long time and being excited to see cards, but having that be hijacked by streamers who want to "show support" for these allegations.

None of these people will quit the game or actually try to harm Blizzard like they have to others based on unsubstantiated allegations, so it's all just fake any way.

I hope Hearthstone does it different next time and gets rid of this whole streamer reveal.  It sucks that the player base is subjected to their judgments, whether true or not, it's ridiculous to hold the player base hostage for these allegations.

Prove it in court and then the legal system will take care of it.  That's why we have laws so justice isn't served by vigilantes.

Of course anything the government or any other aggrieved party says in a lawsuit is objective.  Now I see the difference between this and the Salem witch trials which also had "objective" witnesses to the bad witch deeds.

Hey Genius, the Salem Witch trials had many years of evidence that the people burned were witches. If you're going to try to pretend your smarter than others, at least do so with a quick proof read and sanity check -- after all they were "trials".  But much like Twitter mob allegations they were made by people with agendas against others.  History isn't scared to repeat itself, which is why we created a justice system, but that doesn't matter to you apparently.

pretty amazing that these same people called for the end of zalae's career for unsubstantiated twitter allegations, but are quitting hearthstone for all of 24 hours for these. so when these people claim moral clarity let's all remember that.

I respect your viewpoint, but if it was going on for two years, this group couldn't a single reputable class action lawyer to litigate on their behalf?  There are a bunch of successful ones out there that have gotten money from Google, etc. so it's a bit odd to me that this governmental department which no doubt will take the lion share of gains for itself via a fine is the only one to take it.  Unless you were in the room, you know nothing more about this than me or anyone else.

Then you aren't familiar with how the legal system works. 90% of lawsuits are extortion attempts that get dismissed or dropped.

Vigilante justice is more fun and the Kibler's of the world are the best at it.  When he said he wasn't going to cast any HS stuff after the Hong Kong crap, he came back as soon as it was good for his pocket book.

This department at the State of California needs to prove its worth, so what better way than to shake down a large public company who no doubt will pay a fine and say sorry to make it go away.  They can get funding from the fine with an easy target who they know won't fight back.

If it was a good case, why didn't a class action lawyer take it on behalf of these people?  These are legitimate questions that the fake justice warriors like Kibler won't ask.

The state of california uses its justice system for political ends all the time. I respect their decisions, but who the hell knows whether it's just a bunch of disgruntled employees finding the right person in government or true. It's easy money for the California government as I'm sure they'll demand payment of a "fine".  This should've been done with a class action lawsuit by the victims. Feels wrong that the state is getting involved in what could be true or false allegations.
