Yea I don't think suing a company really will create any meaningful cultural change. A company as dysfunctional as described shouldn't really be in business that long. Unfortunately the zoomer generation keeps buying trash games. And pre-buying games which is a total scam.

To me it's more surprising so many people even want to work in the gaming industry. It literally sounds terrible, tons of unpaid overtime and a disrespectful culture. And since 2004 or so pretty much every game is rushed-out poor product, something you can't even be that proud of at the end of all that effort.

I can't wait til they go after Paradox interactive because women don't play grand strategy games and therefore don't develop them

(Again, to put my post in context, the culture at Blizzard is horrible and they should be punished, but a significant part of the body of the legal brief has to do with the lack of women at Blizzard, not their treatment of them.)

"female members". Even back then it was a lot of men playing female toons, like Brittany Sparks or Millie.

men are expected to give up family life and be lone rangers in order to persue professional careers. etc etc...

there's a lot of 'talk' about making military life more family friendly and they throw out a lot of money for dependapotomuses but there really is only one choice

Don't have children or get married. If u wan't to not be completely assraped by reality and the hardcore truth.

I mean I am ABSOLUTELY sure there are nicer ways to put that that don't fall into borderline sexual harrasment territory but yeah.

Fair point, this stuff is the worst in environments where the expectation is to give up all personal life to succeed. The military (at least in Canada) is rife with it. USA gymnastics and the Nassar thing. Entertainment industry with Weinstein.

Ironically it has resulted in much worse product, modern WoW is trash and being overtaken by FF14
