Wincel, the buck stops with Activision, they own blizzard.
Blizzard has been failing ever since they announced the new diablo game, but it was on mobile. When the community was pissed, their response was "what you dont have phones?"

Blizzard could have hired Icefrog for like 100k a year when he was a custom map maker and made billions and billions off of DotA.i didnt know they had the option to.

They failed to take the lessons of the market, that have proven to work time and time again. Look at Counter-Strike. Valve saw its success as a mod and bought it for a huge win. And then u have Dota/LOL success. Then you also have chit like dayz pioneering the br genre. Mods and independent creations are where the coolest new games come from.

Does this guy seem like the type to harass women?
On the other hand, this is one of the guys who was accused:
The Chad/Brad who answered her question is the one accused of having the "cosby room" where he groped women. What a shocker. You can see the look of disappointment and sadness in the girl who asked the question's face too. Sad.
It's literally always a Chad. Every. Single. Time.
Also lol @ how all the girls cheered after her question and all the dudes booed. This is why we can't have nice things.
OMFG it gets worse lmfao. The current CEO is the dude mocking her question at the start. Ho Lee Fuk lmfao
Same CEO said in his recent letter:
"Stepping back — when I talked with Bobby [Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard — Ed.] about taking this job, one of the first things I mentioned was a revered saint of the Brack household — Gloria Steinem. “Growing up, the value of women as equals, understanding the work that had been done for equal treatment, and the fact that there was still much to do, were common themes.”
tfw have atvi stock and conflicted on whether I want the company to crash and burn or keep going lol

Corporations let the cat out of the bag when they started taking political stances. They set that expectation. They made their bed, now they can lay in it. Fuk 'em.

This is precisely the type of situation I'd expect a liberal male to find himself in. When she brought it up you should have told her you don't care at all about the situation. End of conversation. She can either kick rocks or talk about something more agreeable.
Avoid the unhappy and the unlucky. Liberal females are neither happy nor lucky. They are always angry, indignant and disagreeable. Furthermore they overwhelmingly have mental disorders which means you'll never be able to use logic or reason in a conversation.
Fukking lol at having a debate with a female who's opinion has 0 relevance to your life.

In fact he’s probably directly told by the company not to get involved in the matter.
Companies have legal teams for situations like this. They don’t want random employees going rogue if they can help it.
It’s really fukked up they made fun of the girl and spread her nudes and she killed herself though. Assuming it was unprovoked to make fun of her, I hope karma rapes those ass holes in a dark alleyway some random night in the future
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
