What makes it even worse is these guys probably think they're on the level of rock stars or people working in Hollywood when in reality they're forgettable, replacable worker bees making overtly-complicated children's toys.

The pic is from 2013. Were his rapist activities common knowledge then or was he still well regarded? I honestly don't remember when that stuff was an open secret and when everyone came forward.

The legal action hadn't taken place yet but the allegations were already public.

The allegations had been around for years. I remember there was one in the mid 90s after his son was murdered, and was dismissed immediately due to the timing.

And even if the dev was just doing a non sequitur shitposty joke with Bill Cosby without knowing the allegations, he was still using the place to "gather the hot chixx for the Coz" (his actual words), which is still shitty regardless of the connotation.

I anticipate the following.

*ahem*

"Um, kotaku? Cringe!"

"These are just allegations at this point. Lets wait for the facts."

"I am not a Blizzard shill. I just think SJWs are taking it too far."

"REEEEE"

"They knew what they were signing up for."

"Its just office room banter."

I think the charges started in 2014, but it was kinda clear what was going on the year before >_>

From a quick google search:

  • Picture is 2013
  • Allegations came out in 2014 in a Hannibal Buress standup


Not defending them but has the potential to be unrelated, 2014 was really the year it became public knowledge.

Given everything that has come to light in regards to what they were doing in the office... do you REALLY think it is unrelated?

The civil suits were filed in the mid 2000s. The allegations were known of prior to commencement of the criminal action.

The allegations date back years. People only started taking them seriously after Hannibal Buress. Obviously he knew what was going on and so it's not impossible the Blizzard employees knew as well.

Hes a black comedian, he would be in much closer circles to Cosby than fucking game devs.

Not that I give a shit about blizzard, but that is just bad logic.

assuming they even did the work, considering a lot of male employees would delegate work to female staff instead

lol why else would they pose with him? maybe they're all just giant fans of the cosby show?

naming a suite after cosby just for the hell of it? yeah remember when we all used to do that in 2013. maybe they just really love jello pudding.

Cosby was weirdly a meme back then. He was used heavily on YTMND and was in Shut Up and Jam Gaiden too.
