A Letter From CEO Bobby Kotick to All Employees

[Verdugo]

Also, reminder that Bob Page Kotick over there was flying the Epstein special. Maybe he is going to remove himself?

[DingDongKing]

Until employees sharing positive experiences of these ‘changes’, it means nothing. Time will tell. It’s funny watching all the right wing brigade screaming ‘cancel culture’ at everything and then accusing other people of being snowflakes, when all they do is whine and moan. Can’t make it up, really.

It's so sad there are people who consider sexual harassment and discriminating against minorities "liberation". Hopefully there will be less and less people like you in the future



These posts are coming from people with similar 'values' as the perpetrators of sexual harassment at Blizzard

‘People with similar values as the perpetrators’

Are you being serious here? My post had nothing to do with the vile harassment at Blizzard, but the announced purging of any content that is considered to be even remotely offensive by a small group of social media loud mouths. Do you actually read?

[ItsRainingMetal]

So.... less based on merit, more on "diverse" skintones and what's between their legs? Am I reading this correctly?

Yes. What that basically means is "Don't hire white guys, also, get some trannies in here!"

[Tortuga234]

Yeaaah! They will finally start hiring diversity over competence even more! Oh, wait... that's how we got Bfa and Sl...oh no...

[Stoffmeister]

Does this mean that future WoW will be like Netflix with transgenders and gay heroes everywhere?

[jk1895]

I will immediately stop playing any Blizzard game if they make the tits of the female characters smaller!

Of course. Companies fear the twitter mob, so they give them what they want. Not realising that the 95% of people that are sane, have actual lives and aren't on twitter, didn't ask for any of that.

Reading comprehension is hard. That's not what was said - they'll look for more diverse CANDIDATES.

Do you know the difference between hires and candidates?

That's essential in this.

But whining and attacking straw men is probably better...

My comment was to the quoted message. Troll somewhere else, dont we have an Off-Topic area for trolls like you?

[Eltjar]

I'll just play "inappropriate" games then while Blizzard self destructs with inclusiveness and diversity.

Imagine if a hospital hired staff based on diversity, less skilled people doing your heart surgery because they checked some boxes. Just nonsense.

I will do exactly the same, since the outcome of all this bs is crystal clear. Look at all the beloved movie, tv series and game franchises, that got tainted and destroyed by so called "diversity" aka "no white cis males". Lifeless husks with only puritan agenda and intersectional feminist ideology plastered all among it.

All talent, merit, excitement and entertainment value sucked out of it, only to pander to a [insert color] haired, socially mutilated minority, that only exist
in the Twitter/TikTok cespool echo chamber.

(Stunning and) brave new world.

So, having more DIVERSE candidates and removing sexual predoator likenesses from a game is the point where you draw the line? Good to know...

And they scream and cry about why their business fails. When you pander to only a percent of a percent of a percent of the total population, you are missing vast armies of customers who want to play, or formerly did play. Trannies and other mentally ill crap shouldn't be WoW, it's fantasy and should be kept as far away from Socialist brainwashing as possible. Instead, they hire those lunatics because they congreagate on Twitter, so they can get a few cheap Lefty bucks, and then go bankrupt.

I hope someone sane will buy the Warcraft IP some day, and make it about sexy (real) women, buff and strapping men, evil sorcerers, demons, and adventure without political preaching.

It's not discrimination to make sure minorities are getting hired unless you think somehow straight white males haven't had it easier than others in North America and Europe than basically everyone else in the past 200 years. If you think this is the case then go read a history book and stop posting until you've done so and taken proper exams.

Any book that's accepted by far right pundits though are not acceptable.

Positive discrimination:"This is a form of discrimination that favours someone by treating them differently in a positive way. An example might be an organisation appointing someone from an underrepresented group into a role without considering whether they have right skills for the post."

Why not starting an association "Save white man privileges" given you think they are in danger?

tbh white males are the most discriminated group in US and EU atm indeed.

which is kinda funny

which is also the reason asia is taking over world as they dont waste time on woke nonsense.

Got any serious source for that bold claim?

Your gut feeling is not a source...

Companies do this so they can post an impressive staff photo on their social media. But I think companies that prioritise this crap over skills and quality will ultimately fail. I don't know what the Wow team looks like, but it wouldn't surprise me if diversity hiring was a big part of Wow declining.

Only they don't. Twitter mobs only witch hunt things, going from one to another. They never actually spend anything on the thing they fought for whenever their cancel cuture wins. They just go preying on the next one.

CRT being a thing is proof of that. Boys are also discriminated at in the schooling system, as they are "too rowdy", so they need to be turned into berated into being more feminine, it's why women graduate from college in far larger amounts than men, while men make up the vast majority of suicides.

So a company gets sued because they have unfair compensation and promotion after being already reprimanded, they still prefer men when it comes to promotion and salary.

You think that if they change this - removing unfair advantages for men - the game turns bad? I begin to think that we gamers really are the problem...
