I remember when Id was the big dick developer studio. Though they never had any drama of this caliber to combat. There's going to be a tell-all book at some point.

Put it in perspective then:

Women at Blizzard: "we get sexually abused, unfsir treatment, etc".

Blizzard: Changes Mcree's name.

How is that in any way related, or a solution.

Yup.
When you think Mcree in the context of overwatch, nobody thinks that sexual abuser/rapist? From blizzard. They think mcree the cowboy. Changing a name is not only not beneficial, its offensive since it marginalises the situation

The request for these changes is literally coming from the workers who were a victim to this culture. They had to fight for this change and is part of an overall policy of removing any mentions of any developer. It is not for the players.

If thats true, then fair enough. I thought it was damage control from upper management

This is in specific regards to McCree: https://twitter.com/dogspinster/status/1451689135601635333
There was a similar statement about some of the WoW changes, though I do think they've gotten a little overly ridiculous >_>

This isn't just some random canceling of Blizzard devs, it's part of an ongoing workplace harassment suit. Absolutely part of the reason the changes are made is damage control, but it's also a negotiation with victims on the other side of the table.
