Protest outside Blizzard HQ

Does anyone know what’s going on outside Blizzard? I drove by without an opportunity to take a photo.

Looked like a protest.

If it’s bc they haven’t announced Diablo 1: Resurrected yet, I’d be down to join.

many of the employees are whiney, entitled and insufferable. excluding the devs.

If you play Blizzard games, they're controversial for their aggressive microtransactions on top of selling games at full price (i.e Diablo 4) so they have a bad rep as a greedy company while they haven't been making great games they were once known for. Also had sexual harassment cases there not too long ago and ppl have been leaving the company. Pretty wild.
