All right, I have LOTS of thoughts, unsurprisingly. I am a gamer, a woman, I used to play WoW, I currently play FFXIV, and, as a writer, at one point I wanted to work crafting stories for Blizzard. Reading this, I'm glad I never got that opportunity. #FF14 #MMORPG #Warcraft 1/20
I am legitimately not surprised by these complaints. Having been a woman gamer in WoW, the culture in the game is reflective, apparently, of the company culture as a whole. Misogyny and bigotry were common occurrences. 2/
If you jumped on a voice chat to raid or do dungeons with a PUG, & you had a feminine sounding voice, the sexism was immediate and tiring. It's more than just "LEARN2PLAY NOOB". I heard derivations of "Make me a sandwich" as well as "suggestions" of intimate things I could do. 3/

(1/x) This video paints a much more realistic portrait of the challenges of corporate / employment life at #Blizzard it's worth watching.
Caveats:
-Taxes/benefits have increased dramatically for companies to offer
-Blizzard would do well to relocate to a less expensive area

-Due to economic challenges last few years, most organizations have been very cautious about profit-sharing w/ staff. Not unique to games industry.
-Rampant unemployment & slow economic growth the last 10 years has emboldened companies to raise job requirements & pay less

-Now that the job market is improving, companies will struggle to retain or recruit if they don't improve compensation.
-Gaming studios are the last bastion of the Dot-Com boom. And now they must restructure to be profitable as competition has increased a LOT
