Alliestrasza and Lt. Eddy Cancel Card Reveals over Blizzard Allegations and Law Suit
Content Creators Alliestrasza and Lt. Eddy, who were both scheduled to have card reveals today both decided to not do their reveals on the scheduled time due to news that broke about a law suit against ActivisionBlizzard about sexual harrassment and gender based discrimination.
Here is a link to a story on The Verge which has all the relevant information about that suit, including a statement by ActivisionBlizzard on the topic.
Below you will find the courageous video message by Alliestrasza explaining why she made her decision, as well as Lt. Eddy's tweets on the topic.
FRIDAY EDIT: Trump has announced today that he is also pulling his card reveal. Blizzard also decided to pull more reveals from their own official channels, scheduled in the next few hours. See the video in which Trump explains his reasoning below.

Please note: This happens at other companies, if not most. Even your own workplace that you’re unaware of. Please stand up against this behavior if you see it.

Wow you're so cool and edgy dude! Everybody definitely cares about how much you whale on Hearthstone!
What a cool and edgy response! I definitely care about your opinion of my post!
#MeToo
I don't get why blizz doesn't just release the cards outside of the streamers revealing them? Fuck the streamers, they don't own the IP to the cards let that shit flow
So... It's not that everything is checked, analyzed & decided.
We know about beginning of that law suit, not about ending...
... So maybe, just maybe everyone should just wait for verdict?
...Because what if, WHAT IF that story is technically a BS? And Acti-Blizz will win?
These " content creators" will pay back Blizzard? They will steal newspapers from authors of (possibly) that fake accusations?
Maybe they should just uninstall all ActiBlizz games & go on the streets?
It's ridiculous...
I mean, there's a lot of open accusations right now and a lot of them look open and shut. I know it seems weird that this is another one of those "guilty until proven innocent" things, but an employee at Blizzard, a woman, recently committed suicide while on a trip with another Blizzard employee, a man. This man had a pair of sex toys in his luggage. Pretty clear intent, here. This isn't the first time Blizz has been accused of stuff like this. The WoW team currently holds the most accusations against them with a team manager that has been reported to be a sexual deviant multiple times, but I understand your frustrations. I highly doubt that the Hearthstone team has done anything like this, but keep in mind that Hearthstone is still a part of Blizzard as a whole, so they're gonna take the fall too.
"Pretty clear intent, here."
Are you out of your ***** mind? You know literally **** about anyone's intent... or why a woman killed herself...
This is a lawsuit brought by the state of California after a two year investigation--it really isn't the beginning. It's the kind of suit that a state isn't going to bring unless they have mounds of evidence. Everything alleged almost surely happen.
How do you know dude wasn't bringing his own personal butt plug with him?
Is there an announcement about everything that is happening from blizzard hearthstone? It seems like they canceled all the scheduled card reveals until the big stream where they reveal all of them when it's finished.
all card reveals will be made in one dump, on Monday
You know, I actually remembered. Well, google remembered.

Hopefully the virtue signaling will subside soon and the cards will be revealed because no one really knows the facts and in the end other than maybe a few moral busybodies no one really gives a shit either.
What's funny is the virtue signallers are attacking a massively virtue signalling company. Hard to know who to root for. I'd normally say that I'd root for justice, but such a thing does not exist in California, the most corrupt state in the union.
If the CA, NY or DC government want to indict someone or fine someone for something, they will... regardless of evidence.
Man I didn't realise how salty ppl can get over not seeing some cards that they would call "trash", "free dust" or "filler" anyway.
First they are not the same people. A lot of us want to know what decks we can build when the expansion dropps.
Second its childish to punish the community for blizzards actions because blizz dont care if they make a review of it or not. We do.
Third point: stop making game political playgrounds. A lot of people are just here to look at the new cards and have a good time.
I mean, you gotta think about it when blizzard themselves has pulled some reveals as well.
Wasn't it Trump who had nude pics of another Streamer on his desktop? What was her name again, something with Huffer?
I imagine this guy would behave exactly like the Blizzard employees who are responsible for the charge. A slimy fratbro.
Have you proof? If not stop posting trash about people you dont even know.
