[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9410053, member: 18"] Bollocks, frankly. Don't try and pull "trying to cancel" that's a disgusting claim. Especially as you've made no effort to read the lawsuit because you're saying "We don't know what happened". We do. That [I]you've[/I] chosen to not to know is your choice, not an absolute. It's a recorded fact, from the California lawsuit that a male senior Blizzard employee who I am avoiding naming attempted to rape another a female junior Blizzard employee, and that he'd done a lot of other very bad stuff (much of it recorded in the lawsuit), rather habitually, and this senior Blizzard employee was, as a matter of cold fact, John Hight's direct report. This wasn't the first time this person had done something bad - he did a lot of bad stuff. His name has now been scrubbed from WoW (he had a habit of naming stuff after himself) by Blizzard, and he was one of the very people actually [I]fired[/I] during the lawsuit, rather who quietly resigned. To be clear, the senior employee stayed on at Blizzard after this assault until 2020 when he was terminated because the information had reached the public. Note that Hight was neither fired, nor resigned from Blizzard at that time - unlike a lot of people. To me this suggests that he didn't[I] approve[/I] of these unsavoury activities, the Cosby Suite, the cover-ups, the routine firings of people who tried to change this situation and so on, but they all take place under him, and as a VP, there is no question he knew what was going on with his direct reports and knew about the general firm culture. And I think it's totally valid and important even to point out he did nothing about this for 10 years. Whether that makes you want to "cancel" him is up to you. That's not something anyone is forcing you to do, is it? And again, that you know nothing about the situation, and haven't chosen to inform yourself, doesn't mean the same applies to others. So don't give me "partial information". You're a human. You operate on "partial information" every second of the day. I would say I don't think it's "cancellation"-worthy, just kind of rubbish behaviour. But it is worth noting if WotC has culture issues in future. [/QUOTE]
