In short:
SCREW TALENT because we're hiring by gender not by talent. Oh, you're a veteran of the business and have worked in several successful games? Well, fuck you because you got a dick between your legs and identify as a "he". Get out of here! And how about you? You have next to zero experience and the only game you worked on ended up a colossal failure? Well, you're in luck because you're a woman! You're hired!
In other words, it's time for me to start checking out other games because Bobby Kotick just said "fuck sinking slowly! Grab the water buckets, let's throw more water in!"

First, let me be clear, I agree with blind hiring; however, what you said isn't true at all. Diversity DID not shoot up, which is why liberal people have wanted to end blind hiring in orchestras because they said it was leading to less diversity.

These mentally sick degenerates who took my beloved fantasy girl and stomped it into the ground with diversity hires and women who have no business working for something that's mainly intended for their most hated enemy, straight white men, will never again get a single penny from me. This game is over and done with.
I'm more interested in WoW knowing there is a diverse team of people from various backgrounds working on it. For a game with so many different zones with different themes and cultures, having a real world workforce reflect that in a non-fantastical way sounds great.
On the WoW team, I've already been part of hiring teams which at the end of reviewing 30 applicants and identifying the best 2-3 of said applicants responded with "Man, all we have is f'ing white guys" and "I hate that it's just white guys".
In the same said meeting, I asked why some decently qualified applicants were passed over in the first round of filtering, but someone who had no relevant experience and was missing any demo material - but identified themselves as non-binary in their cover letter - made it to the second filtering round. I was told "we specifically asked for a more diverse pool of candidates this time."
So much for hiring the best nerds for the job. Screw content of character - skin color and what's in your pants now equals "best".
Imagine substituting the word "White" with any other color - it is the *actual* definition of racism.

The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
i wonder if anyone will abuse the zero-tolerance policy to threaten co-workers?
give me your lunch money or i will tell bobby you touched me!
