Just fire those employes and hire those who can actually work for the game rather than making noises. Hire china people, they can work silently and deliver in time.

1. Same guy who just kept saying KEK followed by a load of uneducated crap.
2. It's called pragmatism. Working longer hours within reason is understandable. Working ungodly hours is not. Big difference.
And I think that's the main issue. People like yourself think everything is black and white, unless it applies to yourself. Then it's a different ruleset.
That's a pretty extreme take, because it's making a blanket assumption that women are some devious folk looking to take advantage of a guy.
Which is statistically untrue, given less than like 8% of sexual harassment claims are fabricated.
So what I'm saying is...moderation. Yes, boundaries are essential. Whether men are cautious are not. Or whether women are cautious or not.
I've been to lunch with female colleagues, but you keep a sensible set of boundaries. Not that anything has ever happened, but you just be smart.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I have no love for Blizzard anymore but at this point this is just an attempt to screw them over.
At least now they have demands and not just protesting for the sake of it.
It´s still stupid, employees have NO say in any of what they are demanding. If Blizzards gives them this power, they better close down, because they will be ruined. As if anyone with a brain cell would give a bunch of leftist, woke workers any say in a hiring process or company policies.
Seriously, just fire them, to hell with the bad press, get rid of them and move the headquaters out of the ruined state of california.
They have become to big anyway, it´s better for them to get back to a more smaller company.
Also, it shouldn´t come as a surprise that Afrasiabi is a di*khead. He is gone now so cheers. The whole Cosby room thing is a non story. Most of the lawsuit is based on accusations and not proof, there won´t be coming much of it, though I doubt there will be any justice considering the laws of the state. People coming out after 8 years with some stories are not trustworthy to begin with. It´s funny to see people jumping to conclusions and dooming the whole company because of some idiots. That of course is so reasonable.
Ah well, let the company burn. Maybe something good comes out of it. This entitled little sh*ts who work there need to learn some lessons though, I hope they will be out of job sooner than later.
This, and I have seen it happen. And tbh, I just don't engage with women the same way I do with men at work, they might feel a bit ignored, but I try not to shit where I eat. Relationship (if it leads to that, not even romance/flirting) is heavy business, it's destined to have an ugly phase, and if it breaks in the midst of it, and she's a colleague,..
You cant bro the same way with women, it's too much feelings for both parts.
So wait, just so I have this clear.
You think there's an equivalence between me working potentially 40-45 hours a week and sexual harassment at Blizzard?
You think it's wrong that I said, 'the culture of working extra hours by 10 hours in total per week is acceptable out of pragmatism, but the culture of sexual harassment is not acceptable?'

And that's the thing. The 'joke' continued after 2014 as well, which means they had an inkling about how it would be perceived.
But even with the entire Cosby thing in mind - and lets assume it was a harmless joke - it's still not okay for sexual harassment to occur at a workplace. So for everyone screaming 'OMG WOKE! COSBY IS JUST A JOKE! GET OVER IT!', the Cosby thing isn't the core issue at hand.
I don't take issue personally with that shit, I am merely defying the false claims that they didn't know anything about it because "it was in 2013, almost nobody knew before 2014."
Well, here it is in 2014 as a haha-funny injoke.
Do with it what you want.

Yes, people are ignoring that, which irks me. It's because she claims to be a victim of it all and pressured into it, and misled by somebody she trusted and had a lot of respect for, and naturally because she's a woman, people will buy into it.
