Does anyone (preferably an employee and a woman and/or a #LGBTQIA2S+ person) know if #Blizzard has cleaned up their trash behavior towards #women (including #trans women) and #Queet people?

I would like to play #Diablo4, as I have been playing the series since the #beta for the original #Diablo #VideoGame on #PC, and I have logged umpteen thousands of hours on them all. I still have my original #Diablo2 discs, and install it on my desktop every so often.
.
I want to play the game, but not enough to stand with shitty companies and their #abusive #businesspractices, so I will not be buying it unless I know that they have cleaned up their act.

Today, two people left the company I work for. No communication whatsoever to the staff from #HR or #management regarding their departure. What does this communicate to the rest of the staff about how the organization really feels about its employees?
