[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9409017, member: 18"] I trust CURRENT World of Warcraft management far more than I do Microsoft, sure. But John Hight oversaw a large part of the era of Blizzard when massive misogyny (including sexual abuse) was allowed to run rampant, even joked about by a subset of senior employees, and other work abuses were pretty common (including a ton of racism). To be fair he wasn't made GM of WoW until after that, but he was in his own words the "Chief caretaker" of WoW 2011-2021 and was EP/VP of WoW for that period. Now obviously he's not going to bring that culture to WotC or anything, he wasn't one of the people perpetrating it, just perpetuating it by failing to do anything real about it or take a stand on it. But it also doesn't make me think "Well this guy is a great manager!". It makes me think "Well this guy sure know how to ignore huge problems!". [/QUOTE]
