Video game developers at Activision Blizzard say they'll walk out Wednesday

> Why it matters: Walkouts are a drastic measure for developers in a largely non-unionized field, a testament to just how angry employees currently are.

It sends a message, but I wouldn't say it's _that_ drastic considering the demand for developers and difficulty hiring in the Orange County area.

Anybody knows if this is going to affect the release of the remastered Diablo?

Unlikely, since the remaster is being done by a different company (contract).

Man, how terrible must their working conditions be that they talk about what day, instead of what hour, they will leave for home.

As much as I do support them, Blizzard employees frequently strike me as obsessed with social media perception and staying woke rather than doing what's right even if it is inconvenient for them personally.

The ones who are actually affected don't work at Blizzard anymore. The time to walk out was _years ago_. There's no chance it was wide-spread knowledge that one of the executives was assaulting people at work and yet no one was frustrated by that fact.
