25 years at Bellsouth/ATT. I see shit with people in other companies having alcohol in their office or going out for two martini lunches and I'm like wtf? How can this shit be real in 2021? 95 degree heat and if you were meeting a customer/vendor/city official in the field your ass was wearing a tie up until just before I retired.I worked at General Motors for 6 years. The lack of red tape at smaller companies is intoxicating.
Unless I was paid ludicrous amounts of money I wouldn't go back to big corporate.
They are making a Card game, right? No thanks (unless its like Slay the Spire).Dreamhaven (Morhaime) said in their charter they won't prioritize microtransactions and short-term game analytics as a design philosophy.
Whatever they come out with is worth looking at (assuming it's not going to just be mobile)
Morhaime wants to return to the source. There's hope for gaming not being dictated to by a board room.
Ravvenn really dodged a bullet here. She is better off without Furor
Was this before or after she started begging male acquaintances for narcotics?You know, I remember her telling me that she caught him cheating with a girl at work. Or maybe they were just meeting at his work, I don't know, wtf did I care for anyway.
I remember him always playing Everquest. He was from the same server I was on Veeshan. I remember him playing 3 different characters. Kalaran, Kartak and Furor Planedefiler so he seemed to always be online. If he was one he must of barely worked, They usually work 10-12 hour shifts. Godamn I miss the good old days zoning into Crushbone and there was Dvinn waiting to fuck you up.I remember reading a long time ago that Furor was basically a 30 year old security guard before Tigole got him a job at Blizzard, was any of that true?

That's Twitter's buisness model.Damn I just imagined some exec at Activision wondering if they can microtransaction sexual harassment.
It started way before TBC. Its when they began to normalize everything cool about what made WOW into some spreadsheet balance BS. And we all know what happens when there is spreadsheet balance? everything becomes a big fat meh.WoW has been declining since the launch of TBC.
They made an imperfect semi sandbox that introduced their RTS and ARPG fans to MMOs.
Their real achievement was being a big name in RPGs with a lot of goodwill behind them and converting those players into monthly subs. The quality of the game wasn't necessarily the critical thing here, though it helped.
Square Enix did exactly the same thing, just focused on the Japanese market, so it wasn't a unique Blizzard accomplishment at all, something they are realising to their horror with the rise of FF14.
The good WoW expansions fixed some imperfections and created new ones being neutral in improving the game overall, the bad expansions just made the game worse. The game never got better, that's why Classic was so popular.
What the allegations do is paint a picture about why content updates are so slow despite budget/income, why game design issues only ever got worse and why they are going woke.
At my last company, revenue-generating people could do basically whatever they wanted. Fuck and do coke in the office, no problem as long as you were generating leads or closing deals. Sleep with a client? Awesome. Rules were especially non-existent for sales people on the road. Meanwhile, in engineering, service, field operations, etc, the only rule was you couldn't date a direct report. When a semi-attractive new-hire was being onboarded to our NOC, a senior tech actually opened a ticket, in our system of record, titled: "Dibs on the Redhead."One of my sister companies had a 5-star salesman (mid 6 figures a year) start banging one of the inside reps on the sly. They got sloppy. We have policies that strictly forbid it. We cut bait on both of them. Losing a great salesman and mediocre inside rep > better than lawsuit. We didn't hesitate for a moment.

Right because all the Blasey Fords of the world are twenty somethings….ftfy.
If you read between the lines of the lawsuit, the thing about males not asking women for information in it: From the things commonly heard nowadays, it has become standard for males in corporate workspaces to not take any risks, and reduce interaction with women to a bare minimum. This is especially true for one-on-one interactions, behind closed doors, especially for both.ftfy.
My current place of employment? 0, I'm fulltime remote.Mist
In your estimation, how many times have you been sexually harassed or propositioned to in your place of employment?
