Blizzard Starts Drive To Recruit More Women and Ethnic Minorities (bbc.co.uk)

An anonymous reader shares a report: The company behind games like World of Warcraft and Overwatch has started a drive to recruit more women and ethnic minorities. The information is in a leaked internal email from Blizzard's CEO, seen by the website Kotako. It claims 21 percent of Blizzard's employees are women, and although that's similar to the rest of the gaming industry, it says it wants to do better. The company claims the initiative will focus on finding more female employees and getting them to stay on longer. At the moment women are leaving at a higher rate than men but it says it'll fall short of setting "quotas."

Or quests for dinner in some far away region only to be told she's no longer in the mood for that and wants to go to the other end of the map for the thing that's a thousand times more expensive and might cause your balls to erupt in flames.
