[QUOTE="RedBlueGreen, post: 9533111, member: 369673"] I'm always skeptical of things like this because there are so many factors involved. Same job title and same working hours doesn't necessarily mean the exact same work, especially in an industry where people are shifted around like crazy for different roles in development. There's seniority and/or performance/skill based raises to consider, as well as the actual time they're working, etc. There's a lot that goes into determining a salary or somebody's wages, and given that this is a state where virtually everything has to have a label that says it contains a probable carcinogen I'm not exactly inclined to believe their labour board's allegations. Since this is most likely a civil issue I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard is found to be at fault regardless of how much actual evidence there is. And I don't think opinionated testimony holds up without something to actually back it up Agreed. HR exists for the company's benefit, not the employee's. The only reason they get involved in employee workplace affairs is so to resolve disputes before the company gets sued or fined. Some HR employees will even make things like compensation and leave as hard of a process as they can because it's in the company's best (financial) interest. Corporate doesn't care about the employees, if they did people wouldn't be making minimum wage while executives are making high five to six figures, especially considering there's not much risk for said executives contrary to popular belief, and people wouldn't be fired just because the boss doesn't like them. I'm not sure I'd consider Reddit's opinion credible about something like this. Social media is plagued with people who like to paint things and people they disagree with as a villain. What matters is actual evidence. This is also why you always want to get an agreement or promise in writing, because short or recording an oral agreement on video there's little that can be done to prove it happened. [/QUOTE]

Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
