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.

FUCKING. THANK. YOU.
Seriously, I was annoyed at not having card reveals... but I'd rather be annoyed at that than at the fact Blizzard has become such a toxic environment and nobody freaking cares.
If the streamers suppoused to represent the rest of the community don't give the message we as a society are fed up with this sort of shit, then what sort of community we are?
Oh so these two idiots are why I kept refreshing hearthpwn and there wasn't anything new, I understand getting bum hurt about something, though not how something like that would effect them personally, but if you were given a job to do (like reveal cards) then do your job, take the personal stuff else where.
Dude there's a time and place to be pissy. This isn't it. Also, that isn't how you phrase it unless your goal is to look like an insensitive asshat.
Read the room dude.
Fuck it, I'll keep saying it because nobody seems to read the comments before posting.
The allegations against Blizzard are disgusting. Including a supervisor sexually harassing one of their employees to the point of suicide.
It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to associate themselves with Blizzard after that.
Yea I get it now, didn't expect that part with the suicide, thought everyone else here was plain overreacting...nah honestly its about High Time that greedy Activii$ion Kingpin Kotick (see Avatar) gets himself some Jailtime, but hes so filthy rich (plenty of dishonest activities under his belt as well) that he can evade whatever is getting thrown his way.
What a day
Checking the ratios of likes dislikes, there’s a lot of garbage in the room. People who would be part of the problem if they worked in Blizzard.
Think we'll get any packs out of this? I'll forgive them for like around 500g worth
Wow dude real show of character. If that was a joke, it was a real shitty one. If you legitimately feel that way, there is something wrong with you.
You think we could get even more?
...
A women was sexually harassed to death
Half of the comments: "My cArD wAS Not ReVeaLED" :((.
They committed suicide during a company trip.
There are allegations of nude photos of her having been passed around during that same trip among other things.
I said it before and I'll say it again: Y'all need to read the allegations.
Yeah okay...that changes everything. Woah, that's disturbing.
maybe because this website is about Hearthstone ... am not saying that the perpetrators doesn't deserve the right punishment for their crimes because they do but that's why there is a right procedure... in a court of law ... and if anyone want to role play as a SJW they have 2 cesspools named Twitter and Reddit for that
So what?
Now I will buy your game.
Give it to me, I will do it
Why are people even mad about cards not being revealed?
Just look at the allegations against Blizzard. This is some seriously messed up shit.
Even if it was for the fans, who would want to associate themselves with Blizzard after this has been brought to light?
