Hearthpwn

I thought about about posting this specifically as its a bit more stand out than a lot more stand out than most of the information shown. But this highly supports a large part of the documention regardless of it being older content and set person no longer being at blizzard be warned this is pretty disgusting to watch regarding alex afrasiabi.

The commentary response is extremely crude overall and really kinda pushes what a large number of people have been saying. Be warned this is pretty diffcult IMO to stomach listening to his response toe the person speaking to the team in the 2010 blizzcon video. Personally myself I think this at least validates a large part of the issues presented regarding him to any regards within the company as this is exactly the kinda response you would expect from someone with the mentality discribed in documents i posted earlier from the case.

If your employer sexually harasses a colleague, would you stop working for them? What if it's also the case in another company, in a multinational, and you have the chance to occupy the position you dream of ?

And the dilemma is worse for the victims or their stalker makes them understand: "be my toy or give up your precious job".
Streamers are right to speak out, even if it seems unnecessary, at least it gets people talking about a serious issue that can affect any job, you and your loved ones.

Don't whine about a card revelation, don't be jealous of streamers who make a living out of their favourite video game, be aware of the real problems... you're much better than that.

Additional statements recorded from prior employees. So there is more information available out there.

So more information is shared with the community to know the situation to the fullest extent. While still think that people should wait to make an decision on the situation till there is full information available and it really looks pretty disgusting.  Having the information available to the community is something I personally feel is important so I will continue to add any additional information as more details are posted on it.

nonsense 

I have never seen such a BASED comment section. Well Played Hearthpwn.

I see a lot of "Choses not to reveal card" -> "Keeps streaming Blizzard games".
Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not super familiar with Twitch, but it looks like neither Eddy nor Allie have streamed Hearthstone since.

I get the frustration, I agree that we shouldn't get too worked up and think of Blizzard as "guilty until proven innocent" and it's likely not the entire staff, the document mostly refers to the WoW team specifically.

That said, I also really don't think these streamers are just "virtue signaling". I'm coming to hate that term. I think that this news just spoiled the reveal season for them, so they chose to take a step back. They're not necessarily taking a stand or "protesting"/"boycotting" Blizzard. I don't follow them on Twitter, but the tweets shown here are short and tasteful. I think they just want to avoid the drama and controversy.

Alliestrasza's youtube channel is only HS content and all the videos are up.

They also didn't say they'd stop doing the stream. They only said they won't reveal the card. 

Give it few days, she seems to be online once a week.

She just went live lol

I was just saying it was too early for those kinds of comments.

I get that this line have could come across a bit douche-y, which may have given the wrong impression:

Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not super familiar with Twitch, but it looks like neither Eddy nor Allie have streamed Hearthstone since.

but I was being sincere, I don't really use Twitch so I was going by the "Recent Broadcasts", but I'm not sure if all streams are recorded so maybe they had streamed since.

I still stand by what I said. People were getting pretty worked up, and I don't think that the streamers really meant anything by it.

They're not necessarily taking a stand or "protesting"/"boycotting" Blizzard. ... I think they just want to avoid the drama and controversy.

In Soviet Russia, card reveals reveal you!

"I wont reveal this card because integrity but I will stream the game all day long and make money off of it, I see no issue with this"

 here it is....YOUR REWARD, CHAMPION

Its a matter of context, perspective ect on the entire situation which none of us have at this time. And reacting purely based on the information we do have is objective if you want to take a stance take a stance on it but remember you do not have all the information. I could express an opinion 1 way or the other but fact is it would be only based on existing information which we dont have enough of 85% of it is probably accurate based on what we have now and 15% of it is probably just inflated over exaggerating the situation. But then thats just contextual as we dont actually have all the info just a small part of it even if we dig around.

Following it becoming more known as well a lot more of the follow up info not directly out is probably going to be more fake than real as well because of people just wanting to get popularity off it. While not all of it will people are going to exploit it for whatever they can.

Riot / Ubisoft and EA all had similar things reciently looking into just less publically known and far less stand out than the accusations with activision/blizzard.

There are people that overreact to things and take things to far and then there are situations that the perspective is valid. Dealing with 1000's of people daily you hear the complete garbage of the world and the realism. Things like he got promoted because hes friends with the boss. That is probably not sexism that is called they get along well if he works 85% as hard as you and your a girl or a guy fact is culturally they get along better and the person is getting promoted purely for that reason. Other situations that person might be 50% as good and its just not worth the risk vs reward for your higher up to promote that same person. Having worked in a dozen different positions in the same role 9/10 times before the interviews even take place there is a person in mind for the position and if that person applies they are going to get it. Its just favortism culturally you get along better you'll work together better. However every person does have people there friends with who completely would be a waste of time to promote. 99/100 times there its nothing to do with sexism while there are situations that would be the case. Its universal not the video game industry in that case. The biggest difference there are the number of people of one gender in that industry makes it stand out more. Again there are situations where that does exist but its an example of how things are contextual. You could be thinking it is purely cause you worked hard where it was purely they just got along better in general and that 15% better you were was just not enough to tip the scales. I've lost promotions for the exact same reason and been like hey it happens.

Again its contextual same time there is a tone of you can find online of Alex Afrasiabi acting like a complete sexist *BLANK* that exist out there which would lead a person to believe at least some of it is true and not just in a I said something stupid way. In an I am a creepy human being way. Same time from a neutral perspective not saying its accurate in anyway in a lot of those videos you have blizzard CEO Alan Brack. Who while is actions are still unacceptable comes off more as a bullied high school kid just wanting to fit in which doesn't come off the same way just more like a I am weak and can't stand up for things I don't agree with. But again this is said with a lack of information which honestly thats why court systems exist. To sort that out as its a matter of perspective. We dont have the necessary information to make a call as to what the extent of the situation is. If guy or girl you feel like your voice isnt heard by management they may be afraid to come forward till after the fact because they feel like there higher ups are not capable of dealing with the situation for one reason or another.

If as streamers they don't wanna do there card reveals because they feel strongly about the situation that is there choice to do so. If they still wanna stream the content because they enjoy the game or its there way of making a living its also there choice. Its not your lively hood on the line taking either stance its is there income. In a fair number of cases a large number of us do not live in the same country as some of those streamers our income is not in the same situations ect. However at the same time if blizzard decides to give the reveal to someone else and they deal with the repercussions of that its also on them or they get shut down for reveals in the future invites ect in the future. The information just isnt there personally in my opinion at this time for anyone to take a side 1 way or another on the situation without context.

I think it would have been smarter to bring it into the lime light and still do there reveals to get attention on the subject. As its a more neutral perspective given the situation and to present the information to let people make there own decisions. Because everyones going to have there own opinion on the situation 1 way or another.

Do they also stop playing the games on twitch of these horrible companies? Or do they have a stance until they don't have to loose revenue?

People really need to give up this "gotcha" take. You can not condone what goes on in a company and still buy their products. Or do you avoid buying products made by companies that engage in horrible labor practices including getting children to work and denying them a childhood? I'm sure you are against that, but I doubt you are going to stop buying products from companies that do that. 

That is called hypocrisy. 

@EvilZero Guess what, you CAN actually stop buying products from companies that are corrupted and have inhuman conditions for their workers. I have stopped buying products from several companies when i learn something i dont like about them. Just because you are not doing it that doesnt mean other people are not doing it as well.

"This behavior was known to supervisors and indeed encouraged by them, including a male supervisor openly encouraging a male subordinate to “buy” a prostitute to cure his bad mood."

So 2 guys were talking to each other and 1 of them made a joke about getting laid will cheer him up and a female overheard it and that's considered "sexual harassment" these days? lord.

" male employees proudly came into work hungover. Similarly, male employees would play video games during work, engage in banter about their sexual encounters"

Objection your honor.. irrelevant. 

"I wont reveal this card because integrity but I will stream the game all day long and make money off of it, I see no issue with this"

Did the hearthstone team reveal the cards ?
