World of Warcraft "on hold"

The American state of California recently filed a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard due to the so-called "pervasive frat boy culture" or unequal and offensive behavior towards female colleagues in the company.

The company's management defends itself by saying that this is not true, that the whole thing is a "distorted and untrue image of the company, made-up, old and out-of-context stories, some of which are more than a decade old", but the rumors, especially on Twitter, do not stop. Quite the opposite. The matter has gotten so far that now "the developers are so angry and traumatized that the development of the World of Warcraft game has practically stopped", which "does not benefit either the players, the developers or the shareholders"... But in order not to make the whole thing seem completely heartless and only profit-oriented, one of the founders of Blizzard, Mike Morihaime, wrote in a tweet to the employees that he was ashamed and that "harassment and discrimination exist, dominate the gaming industry, and that it is management's responsibility to make sure all employees feel safe, supported, and treated fairly...” and that he regrets letting his female colleagues down.

Will this help? We'll see, but until then, lower your expectations a bit for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands or The Burning Crusade Classic.
