Overbuff Recall – July 30, 2021 – Overbuff

I used to be on trip because the story concerning the lawsuit in opposition to Blizzard broke. I simply occurred to be on-line at that second, and since then, story after story of what individuals have needed to put up with, from discrimination, hostile work environments, and sexism, have seen the sunshine of day. I’ve spoken with pals who’re or have been there, and it’s chilling. Firm management, present and former, have firm launched horrible assertion after horrible assertion, saying they both didn’t know or promise change. Change that few consider is coming with out a main shakeup.

I ranted yesterday morning on my personal Twitter about how harmful BlizzCon can really be in terms of alcohol and predators. I’ve helped pals escape some terrible conditions in my journeys there, however none of them concerned Blizzard workers. Now to seek out out that the identical type of stuff was occurring from a number of the individuals who helped being us collectively? Ugh. THE COSBY SUITE?! I imply come on.

Right here is a number of the sport stuff that occurred this week or so however my coronary heart isn’t in it. It hurts. 🙁
