World of Warcraft publisher Activision Blizzard faces wide-ranging allegations that it maintains a toxic workplace environment that’s particularly hostile to women. The gun-toting cowboy that holds his name in Overwatch will eventually get a name change, too. McCree, the former Blizzard game designer, left Blizzard following the sexual harassment and gender discrimination lawsuit filed against Activision Blizzard. The employee for which Mac’Aree was named - Jesse McCree - is also the namesake for Overwatch hero McCree. The in-game zone Mac’Aree in the Legion end-game zone of Argus has had its name changed to Eredath. In-game paintings have also been tweaked for more modest versions, in one case replacing a lounging woman with a bowl of fruit. Concubines and hostesses in the Karazhan and Black Temple raids now have male equivalents that spawn in the zone. I wanna tap that leyline.” Bosses like the Twin Consorts in the Throne of Thunder have been re-named the Twin Empyreans, and the Big Love Rocket mount is now the X-45 Heartbreaker.
The World of Warcraft team is removing certain jokes and flirts, like the lines “When enraged and in heat a female troll can mate over 80 times in one night. This included “updates to improve the game environment for our community, including additional changes to some content to better reflect our shared values.”
27, Blizzard posted a statement on social media about upcoming changes to the game. While some of these changes are gameplay related, others have to do with removing suggestive or inappropriate content from the game. Blizzard is continuing to update World of Warcraft in the lead-up to patch 9.1.5.
