This is good imo. Blizzard's been rotting from the inside for years, and for this Microsoft deal to bring real change they need to let lots of the older employees go. Let's see how it plays out.

Yeah, the purging was needed. You need only see the chat in their free MOBA to know how long they let the alt right gather with impunity in their games.
You hear people make the excuse that losing subscribers isn’t worth the ban, but Heroes of the Storm is free and it’s a safe bet you can log in at any time to see someone spamming epithets.
