Blizzard hasn't produced a decent game in two decades, all the original talent have long departed, and now it's just a sexist cesspool. How about they quit instead of simply walking out?

Generous to think the original talent didn't cultivate the sexist cesspool it is today. I certainly don't extend them that grace. Morhaime was involved. Kaplan was involved. Nobody in executive leadership is innocent.

  Oh I'm not defending the original talent whatsoever in regards to the cesspool, sorry that came out as connnected. I'm only saying they were responsible for making good games and all that remains is a toxic culture.

    True. If they all quit I'm most could find jobs relatively quickly. However, that isn't true for everyone. Is it really worth the risk of not being able to find a job and or getting worse pay?

Some of the folks you're probably grouping in with "original talent" were responsible for building the sexist cesspool. Many of the complaints, both in the lawsuit and by (ex-)employees are not recent events.

Some people don't like having to find a new job in another company that treats their employees better, or simply don't care enough. That's what you see people who have been harassed/assaulted not quitting and just "taking it". It blows my mind, that someone that can work at blizz, prefers to be harassed to just quitting and finding a new job, is not that this company is their only option, even if you are in a visa, is it really worth it to be sexually assaulted just to keep your immigration status? I guess every person is different.
