What do you guys make of what’s going on with blizzard and prior events with riot?

I think most already know how abusive the gaming community can be, but that’s generally talked about regarding the fan base. People know that game developers are pressured and under high stress, but with companies like blizzard, you have chronic employee harassment not even for work but because they can.

It seems like most of the community is absolutely terrible from top to the bottom. You can’t even support these companies ethically let alone trying to avoid it as an addiction.

I went on Overwatch today to ask and view what gamers were thinking about the new Activision-Blizzard lawsuit. The overwhelming majority of players were joking and laughing about it. One person said they hadn't heard of it, but claimed they looked it up and were going to uninstall all their Blizzard games and left in the middle of a competitive match.

It is hard to tell what peoples' true feelings are online, whether they're just joking about stuff like that to act edgy or whether they genuinely feel that way.

Wow so because one developer ran a shit toxic work environment, you assume most of them are like that, without so much as a shred of evidence?

Absolutely ridiculous. I know you guys need to demonize anything to do with gaming cause you couldn’t my enjoy the hobby without allowing it to wreck your life, but maybe try to be more objective in thought.

One developer? Its multiple male employees in the case, they had “cube crawls” where multiple male employees went around harassing female employees whilst they were working. If you mean one company, then it’s not the only one. Riot and Ubisoft were precisely indicted not to mention other gaming companies facing similar lawsuits.
