wasnt this before the cosby stuff was really popping off? just curious as it does change the context
It's pretty damning. I would expect to see a lot of exits from the company by Friday among the group that's still with Blizzard.
Apologies won't cut it. They should be fired today, by Friday at the latest.
It simply does not pass the smell test that Morhaime, Kaplan, Metzen and others had no idea this was going on.
Fire them all.

Yeah, I seem to recall that in 2013 the public didn't know what Cosby was, it happened a couple years afterwards if memory serves. But still, the pics put to rest the notion that people like Ghostcrawler had no idea, and Blizz firing Afriasabi for sexual harassments also trashes any notion that the brass didn't know how bad things were. They just got rid of what was likely the worst offender and moved on.
On a sidenote, I had no idea the McCree Overwatch character was directly named after a Blizzard employee.

Of all the men in that picture, I think Cosby himself has the best chance of having a career in the gaming industry after this...
Here's an Actual Women from Blizz that also Supported this crap!

Note that this is from 2013. Allegations were made against Cosby in Nov 2014 and lawsuits in 2015.
While Hollywood execs, actors, actresses and comedians supposedly all knew for decades (where are the protests for them?) it seems odd that random Bliz employees would be running in those circles.

Creepy and gringey shit. But (and I know some idiots will jump on this), if women were having only consensual sex with them then I don't see the big problem beyond it being gringey. Ofc the company will see it as a PR nightmare, which isn't surprising.

Already unfollowed GC, unacceptable.
Honestly seeing how many people are caught up in this at this point, the problems are systemic and absolute. Management at Blizz needs to be burned to the ground, and sadly that probably will mean total absorption by Activision.
