>Blizzard is launching a “global diversity and inclusion initiative” aimed at raising the percentage of women and underrepresented minority groups in its workforce and improving the work environment for those groups, according to an internal company email recently received by Kotaku.

>The email states that Blizzard already has an LGBTQ council that offers monthly meetings and advises on Blizzard projects, and it recently created a similar council made up of women from “various levels” in the company, with the goal of helping the company’s leaders “think through ideas to attract more women and make Blizzard a more rewarding and enjoyable place for women to work.”

>The email also outlines other concrete steps that Blizzard plans to take to “enhance inclusiveness for those who identify as women,” including “networking sessions and mentoring groups for women across the company,” an annual “Women @ Blizzard” summit starting next year, and improved bias training for managers.

BLIZZARD YES

I want to bully D.Va until she cries!

kill yourself op

RESPECT MY SALAD.

>LGBTQ council
>those who identify as women

I want Zarya to sit on my face!

NO DVA IS PURE

mmmm

>There's no "I" in team t. roadhog
that's where you are wrong kiddo t. one tricks

This is not going to end well.

>tfw you almost watched the original porn so you got the reference immediately

>Nathan Grayson

Isn't this that male feminist who fucked that slut who caused GamerGate and also tried to get up the ass of HotS devs for not empowering women?

Why does this guy still have a job?

>finally get rapid discord trophy
>still no pass into iris

I got all 3 sprays and didn't even realize it. Is it supposed to be hard?

We've looked through your qualifications and you're without a doubt set for the job. But alas, we already gave this position to Fahima over here, say hello! actually don't, she can't even speak english, but she has a gender studies degree! cool right?

How the fuck did you get rapid discord? I'm duo queing with a zarya and still can't get it

>win first koth round easily
>the second something goes wrong in the 2nd round mad virgin fillers switch to le trolle xd dps heroes
fuck EU

lmao every time this happens a company slowly but surely ends up in financial trouble

>blizzard is going to start hiring based on race/sex and not based on merit
>qualified engineers and artists are going to be turned away because they have the wrong skin tone and gender
this never fucking ends well

On oasis when we had 99 and the enemy poured into the point one by one

Felt a little longer than 6 seconds but I won't complain, had situations where I could've sworn it only took 4 secs and I still didn't get it

Ana is for babymaking.

>aimed at raising the percentage of women and underrepresented minority groups in its workforce and improving the work environment for those groups

why
Seriously, what benefit does this bring to the company? How is it going to result in higher profits, increased efficiency, or better games? Can someone explain?

best part is the article says they are already at the industry average

Mmm, seems like a better strategy than mine, although is incredibly inconsistent. Into the iris is incredibly easy imho, just wait for an hanzo ult/use you ultimate in a tank heavy comp

Good boy points, at the cost of everything.

>stopped caring about SR
>started having fun
>realise that no regard for SR takes away competitive sheen
>stop having fun again
>stop playing overwatch

This experience cleared my skin and took an oppressive weight off my chest, my life has never been better

I wonder...

>it's always in tech or top 500 ceos and shit
>never in mining or physical labour like masons, electricians or roofers

I WANT A REINHARDT TITTYPAD

It just happened without me trying to go for it, I just like playing Zen

To be fair I've got 15 hours on him so it was bound to happen eventually, but I know there are people with way more who didn't get lucky yet

>Only 21 percent of Blizzard employees are women, wrote company president Mike Morhaime in the email—which a Blizzard rep confirmed to me is real—and “they leave our organization at a higher rate than men.”

So there are less qualified women, and even the boosted as fuck ones who manage to get in end up not being able to hack it or are unable to maintain their motivation.

>These numbers, Morhaime writes, are consistent with the game industry at large, but Blizzard wants to improve on them.

So there isn't even a problem with Blizzard, this is literally just how things are. Maybe the majority of women don't want to work in videogames or can't, like how the majority of women don't want to and can't be firefighters or long haul truckers.

>Morhaime wrote the company is launching a diversity effort that will first focus on women, but will expand later this year to encompass other “under-represented minority groups,” who make up 14 percent of Blizzard,

But why?

>according to the email. Morhaime wrote that while the company will not set “quotas” for hiring female job candidates, Blizzard is encouraging employees to refer more qualified women to open positions, and it’s looking into ways to better recruit from women’s groups, conferences, and universities with an initial focus on “more women leaders and a diverse new graduate hiring class.” The company also plans to partner with organizations like Girls Who Code in hopes of bringing more women into game development and computer science.

It's already over.

I want to pinch those nipples

>Mike wants to fire you
>identify yourself as a woman
>keep the job

youtube.com/watch?v=iwMzZtU5H7I

>play 3v3
>get into team of duo plats
EVERY
SINGLE
FUCKING
GAME

>Mystery Heroes
>some complete faggot on your team kills himself whenever he gets a healer or a tank

Yes. I still remember that one game where we were defending Eichenwald and started out with a Torb, and then the retard kept killing himself until he got Hanzo. And he couldn't even kill himself by throwing himself off a ledge. No, he just walked up to the enemy spawn with no turret and stood there waiting for them to cut him down, running through every barrier he could on the way.

Then when he finally got Hanzo he couldn't get a single kill on anyone and just left the game. These people should be gassed.

and how exactly do they know these persons are males and females? have they asked everyone single one of them which gender or non-gender they identify as?

nobody likes peons

>but why?
>Morhaime
EVERY FUCKING TIME WITHOUT FAIL

>kill three enemies while my team is grouping up and all are alive
>go for a health pack because Im not getting any heals for some reason
>my team just died 5v3

>"Sir why are we focusing so much on raising the diversity? We already have hit the industry average and you already made a LGBTQ council we have to report to."
>Just do it.
>"But why sir?"
>JUST FUCKING DO IT GOYIM

I hope they let trans in, we could finally get the trans hero this game needs for us to relate to

That or just make another hero trans, that works too

...

Here comes T.Racer.

But user, Bastion is trans

wtf I love Trump now? helicopter rides!!!!!

>game puts you with a five stack of Master/Grandmaster players in QP
>can do whatever you want and get carried
>won three rounds in a row while having a ton of fun with Sombra
Feels good.

>QP
`...who cares?

I don't want to believe this.

>get put in quickplay with people far more skilled than you
>instead of observing their superior skill and teamwork and trying to be on the same level as them, pick Sombra and just do whatever because they're going to carry you 5v6
>feels good

-You

You are the QP shitter and if you were in the five stack you would be bitching about the retard who is just off memeing with Sombra while you carry them hard.

>LGBTQ diversity council

>You would be bitching
What. Why would I? I wouldn't really care, since I'd have a good idea of how to play/good composition with most of the team already if I was playing with a five stack of people I know.

Besides, I only went Sombra once I knew they were going a 2 heal/2 tank/1 DPS set up of their own volition and I tried to work with them. Coordinated EMPs/hacks with Zarya, especially if the enemy had D.Va, hacked health packs around where they were etc.

>muh sjews

relax, it's simply a matter of making games that appeal to as many people as possible

also women work for cheaper and gays and trannies have more disposable income to spend on games because they don't have kids

People hate on Sombra's skrillex haircut but the thing that bugs me more are her toe shoes.

>also women work for cheaper

lol no they don't.

How is putting me on attack on hanamura 3 times in a row in qp fucking fair REEEEE. I also got paired with the same hanzo nigger twice

I want to lick that Blueberry qt.

Toeshoes are comfy as fuck user

So Widow's skin is blue because they slowed her blood flow or whatever, but why did her eyes turn yellow?

Yes

m- mei?

I wish they would just release death match already.

the mode is fun as fuck but I want actual xp on it. push it live blizz

I wanna fuck Tracer

You know that they're going to delay it until September so that they can say it's the September event and now they don't have to do anything for a month.

>its a play 3v3 for weekly boxes and get 10 games in a row with a 2-stack locking dps/widow every round until loss episode

If you feel like that just play quickplay and arcade, don't bother yourself with comp

Nobody move, or Jack is going to throw this Reaper bean straight onto the grill!
