MMOrgy: Blizzard's CEO on WoW Ungaying
Originally written by qDot for mmorgy.com
Wow, a whole month since we've posted on this! I thought it was over, too.
Blizzard's CEO has now weighed in on the WoW Ungaying issue that we covered to death back in February. To skip to the meat of the response:
"Blizzard has provided additional training to its game masters," the letter continues, "in order to give them a greater level of sensitivity when responding to similar situations in the future. Blizzard has specifically instructed its game masters that mentioning or discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in a non-insulting fashion is not a violation of the anti-harassment policy and does not constitute grounds for a warning or any other disciplinary action."
So, there we go. Blizzard apologizes and changes policies. Let's hope that's the end of this.
