- Asmongold watches Preach's first reaction and comments about the Blizzard scandal that was made public in the last 24 hours, a lot to process, especially when the allegations are so horrifying and the culprits so near the core of what once was the World of Warcraft developer team...
Several cases of misconduct and harassment have already been reported and a massive 2 year investigation by the State of California has been made public with the relative lawsuit.

Knowing blizzard, they're probably thinking about sending 30 day time cards to employees as an apology and $5 to their battlenet accounts as a "bonus"

they will send buttplugs

"This real world is affecting our world" - the most gamer thing anyone ever said
He has to try and get some of his less experienced or game-focused viewers to relate to what he's saying. Can even tell that he's a little annoyed to make the WoW comparisons and analogies, but it's all to get more people to at the least say TRUEW in chat, and at the most understand with something they all can potentially relate to. The man's got a brain on him.
@@RrowdyBeast damn you hit the nail on the head
This. We need to stop ignoring this behavior because it did impact us regardless of whether you think it is or not
He's been taking this "It's affecting our game" angle since the story broke, and he seems oblivious to how self-centered it is.
Remember, these are all liberals at blizzard.
they had ONE chance to say: "We thank the state of California for helping us make sure our work environment is safe for everyone".
Fuck anyone in California; please secede.
Not defending blizzard because fuck them but they couldn’t risk saying anything like that for legal reasons. Even the mildest suggestion of guilt like that could be used against them in court.
Honest question: Would it make a difference if they said that? Would it make it ok? Apologies, ESPECIALLY from giant corporations, are absolutely meaningless. Not only that, there's a reason you never apologize on the internet, because all it is going to be taken as is an admission of guilt whether you did something or not, and no apology is ever enough.
@@TheDuranceFurnace Please let us, rather be CA than majority of the midwest / south where women cant get an abortion after rape, without the rapist "father" consenting, or a laundry list of why CA is still better than majority of the country.

Asmon is a asshole but he has human decency
@@hdnfbp why is asmon an asshole?
@@ancientdeeds6634 Asmon himself says he is an asshole
@@Ichiad24 And he has the self-awareness to admit that. In some way, that actually makes him LESS of one because he knows when to actually stop.
We all have an arsehole.
Something for you guys to think about: Whenever a company tries really hard to show the world that they don't tolerate racism, they are against sexual harassment and/or they don't endorse "bad behavior", that means they're overcompensating for something the do behind the scenes. Just compare big companies drama over the years and moments before they got caught, what their PR campaigns were.
Food for thought.
that just what sell the best they dont "overcompensate" for anything they want money, if everyone and their grandma was for segregation well those company would reflect on that,

THANK YOU it's becoming and more obvious that in general the louder someone is about social issues the more they are hiding in the background
"The day the soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership." Colin Powell
GREAT quote.
Its even worse that people are pre-thinking "Ok what did " x" company did this time? Its just really creepy and weird stuff. And Asmon is right, its all Wolf in Sheep clothes.
It's really weird to be honest.
Its not weird. State of cali are run by sjws. This is literally more of male hate "no thing a man does is small enough to not put him in jail over)
At first I thought it was just another case of 'someone sent someone nudes' or some low cooperate boss being a sleaze bag; because it was first mentioned to me as 'frat culture'. Cue an hour later after I read the story and I'm just astonished at how bad this was. Just can't believe it.
@@etopr4986 ehhh idk man, going to court for literally being SEEN sexually assaulting people is a little different than "just man hate from SJWs".
@@andrewlong9799 Thats the biggest "sketchy" thing about this is the "frat culture" thing, Blizzard isn't Google, Twatter or Facebook, its run by old dudes and guys in their mid to late 40's..
Maybe I would 100% believe this if they didn't word it as "frat culture".
@@john24110 Exactly. Virtuous people don't have to proclaim their virtue, it's obvious by their actions. So the people who stand there and tell you how virtuous they are, they're the ones that are deflecting from something. So next time you see some company put out a statement about being more inclusive and hiring more minorities or creating a great experience for women, read it for what it's really saying: we don't actually want them, but society is expecting us to do this. And that's what breeds toxicity.
NO WAY A COMPANY WHO HAS BEEN PANDERING THE PAST YEAR DOES WHAT THEY WERE "FIGHTING" *shocked*
*Gaming company does something evil*
Streamers: This is unprecedented, oh no! Who could have seen this coming?
Gamers: Surprised pikachu face :o
GUYS JUST WAIT TILL PEOPLE FIND OUT, THAT PEOPLE ARE THE SAME WAY
TURNS OUT IT WASNT THE 'WOKE' PEOPLE THAT WERE THE PROBLEM but you know, sound off mate
@@DracoSuave don’t you mean it turns out it WAS the woke people blizzard act woke AF
@@drunkenfox2519 Blizzard's marketing strategy being woke =/= people at Blizzard being genuinely woke. And certainly not the people sexually harassing being woke. Every single one of those vile people I can assure you is not even slightly woke.
I was at that last Blizzcon. As a "POC" they had a BS panel that "catered" to me. I hate pandering with a passion. Was pretty cool to meet Preach at the after party, though.
Speaking as a white guy those panels always struck me as weird. I try to imagine a panel for white males, and I just can't imagine a way that would look good or even something I'd want to be around. So I have difficulty imagining how a panel for women of color or poc or male poc or whatever would be comfortable to sit in.
The idea of a pity party about how I'm strong and independent, or a group of similar people assuring me this convention caters to my 'special needs' as if I'm some sort of rare delicate flower different from the rest of people seems sort of racist/sexist and or pandering.
They do it to look good and earn more money.
Empty pandering is cheap and ubiquitous now, but actually treating everyone well is what the companies that pander the hardest appear to have the most trouble with, again and again and again.
@@arizona_anime_fan agreed as a POC as well. Same goes when they race swap a character. I don't give a fuck what race the character is I just care if they're a cool character or not with a well written story arc.
BLM are to blame for that
no wonder all the developers left it all makes sense now
Ye
Is there actually evidence of this? Or is it just hearsay? I genuinely am just asking.
@@drunkenfox2519 the state of California is suing Blizzard. They've been doing an investigation for 2 years. They have mountains of evidence, there's zero doubt about it.
@@bradkent7372 Whilst it's more than likely true that there will be a lot of collected evidence, and probably a certain amount of truth to some of it, stating that there is zero doubt it's all true before any form of court hearing or release of information is just plain wrong. It is still innocent until proven guilty, even if It's somebody you don't like.
@@GLUFSAREN all of them went to battlefield 2042 :D
So, now can we go back to private servers that manage the classic experience better than Blizzard does?
Coming from Vanilla and TBC private servers, where admins actually banned bots extensively, and you could update your game models locally without getting a ban or retards telling you to go back to retail, I guess you are right. Fuck
Most private servers I've seen are super abandoned or super glitchy. It has its benefits but it's not as hyped as people make it to be
Just find a different game. If you are going to be losing all of your progress and time-investment by switching to a private server anyway then you might as well give another game a shot.
@@paulogaspar8295 Yes, because rape is on the same level as copyright infringement. Maybe there's the concept that you stop giving rapists money, thus supporting rape, and instead choose the lesser evil, which would be copyright infringement of the rapists intellectual property.
Or hey, that's "illegal", so we should keep financially supporting the rapists. Fair point.
@@britneyspheres7yearsago11 I've yet to be part of a private server that didn't underhandedly sell cloned characters or straight up gold under the table. The amount of R13 warriors who already "happened to have" Bonereaver's Edge camping the Feralas flight path on Elysium was absolutely insane.
I’m so ducking stoked that Asmon is showing up like this and telling it straight.
Fuck autocorrect, amirite?
@@Frostshokula autocorrect? youtube is actively censoring us, if i post anything with a bad word they remove it, this crap keeps happing to me. So much for freedom of speech u youtube azzholes, ur day will come for silencing people. UA-cam, Facebook act like Nazis.

"The downfall of power is indulgence."
~Philosopher-Warrior-Poet-King Asmongold the literal God
Isnt that just opulence and hubris?
@@RazorXGamer Indeed, but indulgence is such a sly corruption. Surely, as someone who gave so much to get into this position, I should be able to X from time to time. I deserve it.
Where X is anything but the reason why you were put into that position of power to begin with. Soon it goes from pass-time to coping mechanism, from coping mechanism to dependence, from dependence to ruin. And of course, just that one indulgence is hardly ever enough.
@@The2012Aceman God damn I fuckin love X
He says he doesn’t like “companies not standing up for what they truly believe in, for fear of losing money.”
The answers’ right there, that’s what they believe in, *money*
should add thats the ONLY thing they believe in
Literally every company you knobs
You idiots think any company really believes in anything beyond money. They only believe in other things so long as it supports them in their number 1 concern......you guessed it, money!
As soon as a company goes public its soul dies and only sees green.
I hate making people feel uncomfortable, too. I think most people really are like that. It's just basic empathy. I mean, there's a limit, obviously. I'm not gonna bend over backwards for the type who have unreasonable expectations of others' accommodation to them but if I am actively doing something that makes someone uncomfortable, I feel bad.
Pretty sure that's every human being who's not a sociopath.
Man Preach's smile when he saw his kid made my heart warm.
"How good it is being a woman working at Blizzard" that's top of the didn't age well list right now, I think.
I don't think anyone wants to work there anymore
This just changed my whole feeling about playing any blizzard games. I literally quit playing WoW last week and I am better off without the game anyway. I don't want to support a company by paying subscriptions, buying their games or play their games that act like this.
Hey bro can I get your gold since u quit
It doesn’t change anything for me. The good employees working for their rent check still need to get paid. Let the investigation yield better working conditions and keep supporting the good people who did good work.
See ya, we won’t miss you.
@@CodeeXD How do you know that someone plays FF14? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.
Soo, what about all this gold??
Stop giving these people money and see how they actually start worrying about their behavior all of the sudden!
I've been asking people to do this for years now. But to no avail, there are just too many sheep. Who are willing to turn a blind eye to everything Activision/Blizzard does or says.
The vast majority of users are men; and most of us don’t care about the claims of some random women in California. If the game is fun we’ll play it.
@@sain223 i mean its not really sheep, theres a huge amount of players who are just ignorant to recent news because they dont follow it on social media
@@TheDuranceFurnace Well the game's not fun so whats the fucking point?
Thats never gonna happen, lets be realistic here, Im considering buying Crash Bandicoot 4 and after reading all this im still thinking about it, they need to close everything, cancel all games and services, so no one can't give them money but that aint happen.
I just hate when people humanize businesses, they don't care about you, they care about your money.
But caring about you is a good way to make money. Happy players=$$$$
It's so weird companies still don't get that.
@@bigdaddychemster1201 Shitty companies still make lots of money without caring about the player.
The lady's shoulder pads are end game level loot.
"Don't have the balls to stand up for what they believe in" - hey that's not true! They totally stand up for profit! Just not for what they PRETEND to believe in.
Bullseye
Companies exist to make money, that’s their only purpose.
@@TheDuranceFurnace True, but companies are also groups of human beings, and nothing else. And it's very sad that just putting people in an interest group like that is all it takes to create such greed.
Honestly....a Company that _only_ wants to make Money would have been better, they know this Investigation isnt going to make them more Money....
Yep exactly. At the end of the day company's believe in cash. Everything comes back to that it's that simple.
That's why it's so funny to see conservatives rage when all the rainbow logos come out. Like my guy these company's don't give A SINGLE FUCK about the lgbt community. It's just that a majority of the USA population is pro these issues to a degree and this is what there internal teams have tested and shown will make them more money in the long run.
These people are just so used to having their way all the time and everyone telling them "yes" all the time. They don't think about anyone else but how they feel and how much power they have. Its disgusting. I have a daughter and think about this too much as she gets older.
So, what about the women that said nothing and decided that their job was worth more than reporting the predators that they KNEW would go on to prey on more women? How come this never gets brought up? If I as a male allowed someone to continue breaking the law over and over again, and I knew what was happening, and I was there, with them, doing nothing-- I would be charged as an accomplice.
I think it's pretty fucked up that it's acceptable for women to just choose their job over doing what's right, and then they get treated like they're some variety of victim? They gave up victimhood status when they chose to receive a paycheque while some monster continued on abusing women. They're complicit in my opinion.
If I was being abused at a job site I would leave and report them. Are women somehow incapable of this? I don't think so. I think women are equals, too bad the rest of you don't.
I mean asmon is kind of aids here. He spent half a decade whining about blizzard admins and he never gave credit to the people working their 9-5 for a rent check. And now, when those people are worrying they’ll lose their jobs because a handful of shitbags were awful to women, he still doesn’t acknowledge them.
@@DefianceOrDishonor they aren’t ready for this conversation dude. People just want to infantilize women and act like women are weak and powerless. It’s disgusting.
@@DefianceOrDishonor agree with the general thought process you saying, but sometimes its just harder for women to take that step than it is for men. Not sure why or that it should not be discussed, but if they are too scared to say something and they think they are in an industry that its just kind of a part of no matter where they work... then they kind of stuck. But yeah, obviously you have to take some personal pride/responsibility and speak your mind and report it. I am in construction so we are very similar in ratios of M/F workers and the industry is changing here as well---- as it should.
@@jmroz311 There was and is plenty of women in this industry speaking up over the years, in fact companies don't even bother to remove them because nobody listens or cares. As for why didn't people report their abuser to HR then police well they did and company protects the abusers and tells the victim that the abuse was just them being too sensitive.
Guys, J.Allen Brack knew about Afrasiabi - how many more excuses some streamers need to invent to protect the entire rotten core in this company?
Getting really Bad Method Flashbacks now...
Ngl I’m not looking to streamers to cancel their sub etc, they have a financial motive, this is their job - people like you and I need to quit.
Yeah, and without the victims stepping forward to name Afra in a lawsuit there's not much Brack could do. They can remove a lowly voice actor, but a higher up in their company? Without cause? Based on what, rumors?
The women that sat by and chose, CHOSE, to continue receiving paycheques for their silence... They're not victims. The girl who killed herself is a victim. The women that chose financial gain over stopping the abuse that led to the suicide? Not victims.
We have laws. Victims need to come forward and press charges, otherwise there's not much the rest of us can do. In my personal opinion though, the women that sat by and did nothing when they easily could have stopped it all at any time at any moment with a single phone call? They're accomplices in my opinion.
@@DefianceOrDishonorYou make it sound more easier then it really is.
First there is a social stigma with that and there always will be people who will say that she liked it or something simmiliar,
Second, you need evidence. And here it is where it can get tricky if you dont fake it, because you need it to happen to you again, while other people who can confrim that or you need to document it ehat can be pretty hard becuase a lot of victim try to think as little as they can about it.
Third if the lawsuit does fail or takes to long time they can fire you in the US (they may need another reason, but thats the easiest part).
And then you are out of the job and need another or you will be broke pretty fast.
@@trolltothebank i disagree it is giving funding to these people. Take their money away is the only way to fix the issue.
The way they handle the swifty thing , triggerd my spidey sense .it was like they where covering something up . Tadaaaa there ya have it ! Already had quit the game month ago after 16 years . now they can BURN to ashes for all i care .

@@john24110 Congratulations, I wish you good luck in whatever it is you play now, the 'goal post' is whatever is coming out next yes, that's always the meme, people have been saying that as long as I can remember, you should already know that, you aren't special you see it every day on any forum/platform that has any kind of wow discussion.
"Inclusivity Nexus." Code for Blizzcon's private building for abusing women.... The absolute lack of responsibility is audacious. The misdirection is blatantly obvious. This whole thing is sickening and I'm sure we're still at the tip of this horrific iceberg.
No Blizzcon this year, right? Cause I really wanted people to boo them 😊
Wasnt blizzcon 2021 made on feb this year? Maybe im confused due to the pandemic...anyway fuck blizzard and fuck their future im done with their stuff
@@zorromexicano85 the 2020 blizzcon was in feb 2021 due to the pandemic. The 2021 blizzcon was cancelled.
blizzard fans are angry but they continue to stay subscribed to their products and give them money solving nothing.
Oh yeah we'll show them! By continuing to give them the only thing they care about they'll see how angry we are!
Idk I saw this and especially now that I’m playing (and loving) FF I just pulled the plug on my sub.
A women commited suicide on a Blizzard business trip.
Theres no excuse for that.. thats insanity
Can we have a turn off Blizzard Day in honor of the women that killed herself ????? please
As long as it's voluntary so the people who pay can still play if they wish not to participate
I have been off of wow for years now, but still would play other bliz/Activision games. I don't plan on getting Diablo 4 now that I've seen all this shit. I've played Diablo since the first one and loved them. Even when 3 really really didn't deserve love.
I refuse to support these ass hats. I think we should do more than a turn off bliz for a day. We should turn them off until everyone who was complicit (knowing and doing nothing about it is just as culpable here guys) at activision/Bliz is replaced. If they truly were saddened by this they would make that level of change. Gut the old people who were too high up the food chain to fix the issue, and make more than a meaningless gesture.
Some people commit suicide; you can’t blame other people for that. And you certainly shouldn’t “honor” someone who kills themself.
I am just so fkin disgusted with this company. I've been a die hard Blizz fan for ages, but this is just beyond unacceptable. And agreed OP.
@UCa-wnoZAcSMfLXvp-kYedxw so it was her fault being harassed and her fault that others distribute nudes without his consent
If you think that a person who committed suicide because of that shit doesn't deserve respect you are a piece of shit

For real
"It's not the message, it's who's giving it."
I could not agree with this statement more.
i don't agree with the statement. It's about the intention behind the message, not who is giving it. They don't mean what they say.
@@kessler4o573 That's the point. The message, while important, is meaningless if given by people/companies that don't really care, who are giving it.
@@CodeeXD Sure, that can have a big impact too, but even a message poorly given but honestly meant/intended is infinitely better then a well crafted message without honest intent.
Maybe if blizzard spent as much time working on the game as they do abusing women wow wouldn’t be dying...
Blizzard will hand the victims 100 honor points and settle.
That guy in chat who wrote in all caps: "IT'S THE D*** IN THE SALAD". Literally!
It's just depressing. I hope the people affected get their justice.
At most the mosters will just have to pay a small amout of cash and get a slap on the hand.
@@DemonLordPANDA yeah that's the problem. No matter how the lawsuit goes, even if they win and everything is proven, it's usually just insignificant money and little to no forced change.
This is why me and other liberal people would always roll our eyes whenever gamers would call Blizzard "woke" or "sjw pandering"; we knew it was all a farce, all misdirection and it wasn't fooling us. It doesn't matter how many girl bosses they set up with Jaina, Tyrande and Sylvanas, we could tell that it was always hollow and were likely ugly behind the scenes.

If people have to advertise how kind and caring they are, they're likely either doing it to get money or to cover up how unkind and cruel they actually are.
When you actually meet someone who's genuinely a good person it's actually pretty difficult to give them a compliment without them responding with "It's nothing" or "It's no big deal."
True we should never spread the ideals of kindness and being caring.
That is why they should instead advertise how horrible and inhumane they are, they're likely either doing it to get recognition or to cover up how kind and amazing they actually are.
When you actually meet someone who's genuinely a bad person it's actually oretty difficult to give them a compliment without them responding with "it's nothing" or "it's no big deal."
I left WoW for that game everyone's been leaving WoW for -yaddayadda- about two months ago. When I left, I just wanted to have fun. But now this new story has been the straw that breaks the camel's back in regards to my viewpoint. I'm not buying Overwatch 2 despite being top 500 in the first one, I'm not playing Hearthstone battlegrounds anymore, and I don't believe I'll ever again touch something this team produces. This, on top of the mountain of feces that has been Activision Blizzard for the past decade has turned me from "I just want to have fun and this company won't give me that" to "I want to watch you all go bankrupt and outsource to China".
Blizz needs to clean their house, then build a culture that is not a toxic workplace for me to want to buy or play anything they make. Which would be fairly hard to show that they truly changed.
Wait wtf... Did Asmon just turn a 22 min video into a 15 min one? What has this man done with the real Asmon?
"Once every 6 months something happens to spoil it for us" Thats an interesting way to talk about WoW patches.
Women: we want a comfortable workspace.
Blizzard: you think you want it, but you really don’t.
@York Hunt I mean it's pretty easy to not be a sexual predator imo
@York Hunt nice self report
@York Hunt not really. Maybe they don't want YOU standing too close cause you act like a creep. Cause not once have I had a woman feel uncomfortable standing near me.
So many, including Preach, are acting so surprised at how monstrous some people in this world can be. Stop trying to understand those people, you won't. They are wired differently, either by circumstances or by habits. It's just unfortunate that we as a species are not better equipped to filter out such sociopaths and predators from work spaces until it's too late.
Every one of those predators at blizzard need to be shackled and put in prison, and the executives who are trying to cover it all up need to be fined so damn hard that they never attempt to cover anything else in their entire life ever again, even if they wet their bed for instance.
Fucking corporate culture man, it's historically been downright disgusting at how it handles social issues.
after seeing all of this, you can't help but look back at past events and old blizzcons... hearing them speak and talk and now your mind says "wolf in sheep's clothing" you can now make sense that they all play along lying the whole time... only getting worse as the good people leave , only leaving the bad with their big egos thinking everyone are idiots and they can do what they want...... they just don't care and just play along to try and get the loudest cheers from people and play along.
Just gonna say.... karma's a bitch.
See the Q/A, responses from these WoW devs, from 2010 when a woman asked them to stop creating characters that looked like pulled from a victoria secret catalogue.
It may have seemed like a tauntive joke back then, heck even the crowd laugh with them, but with what we now know it is obvious this was a ongoing thing already by 2010. Watch it.
@@bonjourbonjour2754 And you need to stop bending over for those WoW devs, and i say "those" since Not All devs were guilty, just bc you love the game. I get it, you're defensive of a game you love. But know this, these devs have constantly and slowly been destroying what you love, and from the looks of it bc they'd rather play cod and drink alcohol on worktime.
Summary: Stop defending them.
I remember as a teenager and heck even into my young adult life seeing the Blizzard at the launch of a game and thinking how awesome and what a great company Blizzard was
It was. But not anymore.
"It's not about the message. It's about who's giving it."
so true.
My dad is actually one of those types. A bad guy who wouldn't care if the women are uncomfortable, and that's putting it lightly. I actually asked him why he was like that, every year he had a different lie, but one year, the last one we'd talk, he gave me a honest answer. And the answer is disturbing...
"It's simply my nature. We can't make choices, we're not sentient, we are no different from dogs. You don't say a dog with rabies is evil, it's just nature."
He's a hardcore Athiest, Junkie, and Womanizer who may or may not be a sexual predator. He's an abusive, neglectful dad, who steals his children's birthday money. He expresses no guilt for anything he does, because to him, this results in pleasure for him, so it's normal.
Asmongold says he doesn't get how people like that can be such pieces of shit, well, there's the explanation I had gotten.
@@Sorrowdusk yeah...I don't believe what he said was right. But the only retort he'd understand was "Rabid Dogs get put down." He just laughed and called me a little shit.
Like I don't argue belief, or lack thereof, but there's something unsettling about being happy to be so...soulless.
At the very least WoW is ruined for the next few years.. a lot of talent wont apply anymore after reading about the work conditions and how leadership is disconnected from reality.
This doesn't bode well for any Blizzard games in the future.

Except it's quite often people who do this have both a mother that they do care about and children. That's the thing they are very often just like everyone else but they are pieces of shit as humans
Eminem hated his mother, try and say one bad word about his daughter's to him and see what happens (Bezino or MGK for references)
He did follow up and say, "Would I want this to happen to ME?"
🤷🏽♀️
That "drop of dye in water" metaphor was apt as fuck my dude.
Actually it’s pretty retarded; so if you have 1 bad employee that makes all the employees bad? Like wtf? Personal responsibility.
@@TheDuranceFurnace If it's at the top going down, it works exactly how it would go. It's a chain of mistakes that fucks up the entire rest of the enterprise.
Dudes playing video games while passing shit off to their female coworkers sure sounds like work isn't being done like it should be.
Sure sounds like someone above them is fucking up. And that's just one example of how zero administrative oversight leads to a cascade of problems with your product/organization.
And clearly, there's no personal responsibility when the report suggests that multiple people actively shielded potentially culpable parties from consequences.
It's not that simple.
can't wait for all the lgbt characters blizzard now will bring to hide behind
This is so irrelevant to everything going on 🤦🏽
@@chaitea3421 it's just a running joke that everytime blizzard faces controversy they just end up making some character gay to show how progressive they are
I like your octocat-snoo!

Next on the news: Blizzard turns virtual by making all employees work from home in an effort to 'combat' sexual harassment
*Two years later* Next on the news: Blizzard employees face heavy charges of harrassment over d*ck pics.
I didn't even buy Shadowlands because I knew - real fun would be watching it burn.
I wasn't wrong.
Right?? Same!
What a sight.
We knew something was honestly going on behind the scenes, The toxicity of their decisions, the in-fighting, and how it affected the game play.. Most of us players of WoW decided to put that on the back burner and continue to play regardless of what was going on. Hard to say now what it will do to the game. I expect heavy delays in releases of patches and expansions, until they rectify their problems.
When I just hear the word "Blizzard" I only think about negative things.
Activision Blizzard! The blood of your father, of your people, demands justice! Come forth, coward, and answer for your crimes!
and Blizzard's response.... let them come! our bank account hungers!
not only have i unsubbed from wow, i've deleted my account and also uninstalled the games and launcher outright. until blizz dies and is reborn into something great, it deserves to fail.
The nazis invented Fanta, time to never enjoy that orange drink again 🙄
I like the fact that Zack is getting so many viewers now that he might slowly start becoming "the face of gaming". A lot of very impressionable kids look up to streamers and youtubers as idols or role models and I think Zack is one of the best to listen to.
None of them are good to idolize. Asmon might be one of the better ones, but when it comes down to it, they will do what corporations like blizz do when it comes to woke marketing, always take the path of least resistance. Just look at all the streamers that played with AOC and Hasan. They let them rant on and on without ever contesting one of their ideas because the woken SS would come for them.
Rule 24 - If its exist, theres is advertise and marketing using it.
Rule 25 - if it isn't marketed, it's on the way being used for marketing.
So, when someone is accused in real life Blizzard will delete their in game NPCs and cut all connections. Now that Blizzard, specially WoW team, has offical sexual harassement accusations and even a woman that killed herself in result, and you guys still play this game? Cmon, eye for an eye.
What the game has to do with - some drama over sexual harrasment ?
@@stefanstefanov4821 uninstall it bro. Game sucks dirt anyway
Yea its all bad and etc, but I wont stop playing game I like because there is bad atmosphere for employees, honestly I dont care :/
@Depresso I stopped playing in BFA and Ive playing it since WOLKT, there are so many games out there. Force them to get better, if not they will stay just the way they are
@@tabdulmumin You do you. I dont want to think that I am giving money to a company that is literaly just getting worse and worse by the year
Let's appreciate for a minute that two men, in positions of power and influence, whose income depends on making content for Blizzard games, are speaking out. Don't let them be the only ones. This is the role of men as allies. Speak up and speak out against other men who are doing what you know are wrong. Silence is taken as complicity.
Welcome to humanity. Dishonesty, greed & sexual disfunction runs deep. It needs to stop being excused & dealt with. These type of people will always exist. Throw a little wealth & power into some people & sexual deviant monsters are created too. People need to start mattering more than money 💰 to other people...
Yeah I hate corruption and all but don’t you guys think a lot of what we know is anecdotal so far? Shouldn’t we wait for fact based evidence before immediately passing judgment?
I looked through my 6th Grade yearbook recently before all these accusations and one of the questions I was asked was "what is your dream career/job.". My answer: " Work for Blizzard"...
This was even before World of Warcraft came out. I loved Warcraft (1,2,3) Diablo (1, 2), and StarCraft. Now I don't even care anymore. This company is NOTHING like they used to be.
Soooo…are they gonna apologize to swifty? They slam him for something that turned out to be false and here they are…conducting themselves in a grotesque manner.
People who people treat like this, deserve to have the same mean and horrible things they did to the people they harassed. They’ll never learn any kind of lesson if they just get a slap on the wrist, and maybe being fired from there position.
This is the sort of thing because of California's involvement in it and the investigation that I wouldn't be surprised if there are criminal charges doled out as well before all is said and done. That and the family of the woman who ended her own life as a result of the torment she endured will probably sue Activision/Blizzard if they haven't already.
"Its very few people that cause these problems"
"are you sure about that?" - John Cena voice
funny how after the lawsuit this blew up, and everyone is like "omg"
Bro you are telling me that in those long years nobody knew anything?
"would I want this to happen to my daughter?" I can only imagine that some of these people have done these things to family members.
Jesus relax bro; you act like they murdered someone.
@@TheDuranceFurnace They actually did murder a person
@@TheDuranceFurnace absolute tool.
@@Suzurinn person was just trying to be edgy
@@MB-wp2px good job pointing that out, nobody though of this. /s The reason nobody is mentioning it is because thats not the issue here, i get that you want some kind of award for trying to sound reasonable? while its not only not reasonable to mention it in this situation you come across as a tool to anybody else, just wanted to let you know.
man..its crazy hearing arguments like how 1 or 2 bad workers can poison a company or that men are stronger than women as a defense for things but when other groups say that same thing for there reasonings they would get blacklisted for being racists or sexists
"Other groups" Probably referring to 4channers and other alt right groups it's probably because they have a bigoted agenda to push alongside the facts.
Yes men on average are stronger than most women no reasonable person is saying otherwise, perhaps you've watched a few to many leftist owned compilations.
*As an example of how certain agendas can be pushed using facts:*
Someone of a certain political agenda could argue "men on average are stronger than most women hence why they should be the bread winners of the home because they're physical strength is superior."
And most reasonable people could argue no, being physically stronger than your partner doesn't mean you have to be the bread winner in modern day society.
@@xWukong people will argue all day and night theirs no biological differences between men and women merely saying men are stronger or have more muscle by nature will get you deemed sexist or transphobe.
and ya 4chan or whatever groups can make the literally drip argument for anything so if you use it as a defense that means you acknowledge they can use it too
much like years ago and that stupid skittles alagory where a women compared men to a bowl of 100 skittles and said 3 were poison would you risk it and than people made the point about races or certain religions to the same effect
Be wise and see this behaviour in many places.
They don't think they are wrong. They think it's wrong for us to know.
11:05 the whole analogy for breaking barriers, but really it showed what was breaking in the background
@8:15 I could care less if someone is gay, straight, lesbian, bi, trans. Couldn't care less about what race another person is, it doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters to me is that person's actions & how they treat other people.
Don't try and shove your beliefs down my throat or freak out we don't agree on literally everything. It's ok for people to be different.
Then on top of it, you have these companies and other "influencers" pushing their marketing trash in your face when we all know they don't actually give a shit about it.
That's why we laugh when we see all those booths at Blizzcon and other things like it because we know it's fake.
I know you didn't mean it like this but "it doesn't matter what race you are" *can* be construed as a "I don't care has suffered in the past and is still feeling the consequences".
That being said, I fully agree. People's actions are what matters at the end of the day, not what sex or gender, race, nationality, etc, they are.
Sad truth is it’ll never stop. Prolly happens millions of times a day. These people are just famous/high in power so it’s extremely easier to do and get away with.
The only issue companies care about is making money. Social issues are just a tool they make use of to promote their core issue...
There was one time I was walking and I saw a stray dog, and I was whistling at it trying to call it to me.
5 seconds later I realized that a woman walking in front of the dog was unaware of its presence and was extremely uncomfortable just by hearing me whistling. And that made ME feel uncomfortable with the thought I made someone uncomfortable even by accident.
I imagine that discomfort in the thought of causing other people discomfort is the norm. And... well... some people exist who do not fall within that norm.
What sucks is that they always seem to find each other to form large enough circles to both cause harm and protect themselves from exposure.
You became a Big man little nerdy boy. Respect from Germany. 1uP
A lot of people get off on other peoples pain and suffering.
I cannot believe that after so many years with Blizzard such things came to light. This company was for me like a fucking hero man, it was like "oh man I will never stop playing their games!". I remember my first time in WoW it was in Wrath of The Lich King, jesus, one of my best fucking gamer years of all time! Running around with friends and leveling up, my first dungeon, first mount, first drama, first raid! 5 Hours of wiping on Sindragosa... I always thought that the end will be because of the other game. Some WoW Killer. And yet...here we are, they killed themselfs in my eyes.

Yup double standard hack..
@@Hi11Zones all they care about is money.
Big true
@@hvdhvd-zt3js pretty sure asmon gets way less money from playing wow than he does other games.
The only reason he will still play WoW is because of the emotional connection he has to the game itself.
To be fair. Using the rainbow flag in places like Saudi Arabia and Dubai doesnt just cost you money
The predators enjoy the power trip, they are sick
"Activision Blizzard Executive Fran Townsend Calls Lawsuit Factually Incorrect and Out of Context" how low will they get

So Zovaal was State of California all this time. About to end Blizzard’s reality.
"Taiwan is a country, China is a prison." As a Chinese mainland citizen, I LOVE YOU Asmongold! So fuking happy too see ppl like you would tell the truth instead of sucking up CCP!
Pains me to think of how "You think you do, but you don't" could've been a phrase thrown around the office. "You think you don't, but you do" sounds more fitting for the predators.
Some sick shit going on at Blizzard.
Yea this put the last nail in blizzards coffin for me, was already disappointed in SL and now it's just sickening what this company has become.
There's already been so many last nails though, haha.
I'm honestly surprised they haven't confirmed Junkrat as gay yet. That is how they usually defend their reputation nowadays.
Blizzard: we made Tracer’s ass smaller because some were uncomfortable with it uWu
Also Blizzard: Cube crawls where drunk men would harass their female coworkers
As a woman, Its comforting to hear decent men have morals and principles with what's acceptable, towards treating women. Simple but I don't know if you will ever get appreciated for your actions or point of view. But I wanted to say a sincere thankyou. Keep being a decent men, its so heart-warming to see.
