It's amazing how in less than a decade (but especially the last 5 years), I have seen the optics in the public of Blizzard went from being one of the most beloved and respected gaming companies in the space (probably only compared to Valve), to one where it's today.

From the free speech / CCP fiasco, the hostile workplace for women, the crunch culture, games perceived as irrelevant despite being ground zero of the e-sports, and a lot of great talent just leaving the company. It's sad to look how a company that I enjoy their products for so long, being down to this.

And probably the saddest part it's that a lot of those problems were there from the start, but just recently started to being public.
