Activision-Blizzard allegations

Post by **scooter** » Thu Aug 12, 2021 2:41 pm

Somebody has to explain this to me. Not only did the top execs of Blizzard go in on a suite at a gaming con a few years ago that they would use to bring young female fans back to (er, don't they have their own rooms? With locks on the doors and such?)...but they also used the name "the Cosby suite" among them? And then proceeded to actually pose for a group pic in that suite while holding a picture of Bill Cosby?

People were leaving their games in droves even before this...

Yeah, no wonder their communities end up getting really toxic. They make pretty games but they are often ruined by poor moderation and gross users. I guess that makes more sense now.

I was legitimately questioning that. Did I actually get that situation right? They actually did this? And I think it was like five years ago?

Oh yeah, it definitely happened. I saw the photos all over Twitter including "Why? Is that wrong?" confirmations from some of those involved.

Smells like there are worse things to find and they want it to stop.

Did they get DDoS'ed recently? Thought I saw something about that cross the screen at one point yesterday.

And now all of it will be swept under the rug because Microsoft has bought the company. Golden parachutes for everyone!
