Update: PC Gamer's reveal has been moved to 6 hours after the reveal stream on Monday.
Blizzard has removed their remaining card reveals leading up to the reveal stream. This was somewhat expected considering we saw Blizzard's reveals yesterday removed due to ongoing public disappointment in the company following the California lawsuit against them for discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace.
The removal of Blizzard's own reveals also comes with a few notable community members cancelling their planned reveals. Alliestrasza, Lt. Eddy, and Trump all cancelled their United in Stormwind card reveals after the news broke. This has caused disruption in the card reveal season and with that, more of a spotlight on the lawsuit within the community.
As of posting, there are 5 community card reveals still planned and the final reveal stream appears to be still taking place at the end, though it should be noted they have moved the stream up a day, it now takes place on Monday rather than Tuesday. You can follow along with the card reveal countdown updates over on our United in Stormwind Card Reveal Schedule.
Everyone, before you comment on the situation I'd like to remind you all that we need to keep things civil. I know I don't need to really need to make that comment because the community we've created here on Out of Cards is generally positive, but even we do occasionally have bad actors that appear and you've previously seen us ban folks with bad takes. While there are certainly some frustrations to be had, put things into perspective here; The community missing a few card reveals, delaying them until the card dump, is nothing compared to the discrimination and sexual harassment that has taken place at Activision Blizzard.
Comparing the two is disgusting behaviour and does not belong in our community on Out of Cards and certainly does not belong in the greater Hearthstone and gaming communities. Seeing disgusting comments made on the situation on other websites and seeing them not moderated is those owners continuing to support this hatred and is beyond awful to see.
There is no reason to harass anyone over the lawsuit. No one deserves to be harassed because they are continuing to work at Blizzard, creating content for Blizzard games, or continuing to enjoy Blizzard games. Anyone's continued practice of interacting with the company in any of does not equal standing with Blizzard. Not everyone is in a situation where they can afford to leave their positions purely based on principal and that does not make them a lesser person.
Listen to folks and let their stories by heard. Let the courts take care of Activision Blizzard.

It is pretty rude to reply with an ad hominem. If you cannot defend your point anymore, just do not reply.
I know that to be the case. But discussing the problem at hand should be the bigger priority here. I assume that the community in this website are open-minded enough to know about the guilty until proven notion, I think that way too. But when something like suicide is included in the accusations, we need to talk more about what causes this in the first place so these allegations never happen to begin with.
Right, but we're not in a court of law. If I catch somebody in a lie, I don't have to wait for it to go through a jury to call them a liar.
So, exactly, what is the lie you have found? Not what you think is a lie, but that you can prove is a lie.
Honestly when I read about someone hinting this to Iksar on the last Q&A I was already surprised that it didn't blow up earlier. Really destroys the mood and atmosphere around one of the best parts of hearthstone, which is the reveal season.
Apparently working for blizz isn't always part of the dream, I feel sorry for the victims. It gets worse considering how much effort is being made by the company to show diversity through their games only for a few toxic individuals to stain the whole thing with a massive turd on everyone's face.
Let's hope activision-blizzard starts putting some sense into their heads and understand that a mere slap on the wrist is no longer possible when dealing with discrimination and plain sexual harassment.
Where was this hinted at? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Obviously I looked it up. Its in reddit anyway, but this was the first time Ive even heard of such a thing.
Thank you for the speedy reply.
I hate seeing the actions of some hurt so many. All the good workers at Acti-Blizz, the community sites like OOCs, the casters and content creators that have built up a business working with Blizzard. All these people get punished, their jobs come into question, their futures become uncertain. All because some people can't treat others who are different (genders, races, sexualities, ect) as people. It's so sad.
That said I will continue to support Blizzard and it's communities. Not because I support the vile actions of a few but because I believe we as a community can rise above this. Coming together and support the victims of these wrongdoings and the innocent who are fearing they won't have a job tomorrow. I hope Blizzard can purge these bad apples, apply better policies to protect ALL their workers and come back as a shining pillar of this gaming community they once were.
Don't get me wrong, people did bad things. They should be punished and removed swiftly. Heck it should of never happened in the first place. However I feel pulling my support or boycotting Acti-Blizzard as a hole punishes the innocent, the community, more so than those that have done wrong. So I will be here, praying for those who are hurt and hoping for a brighter future for the company I grew up with.
Better run around naked then because hoo boy, do I have to tell you something about the clothing industry
(I wasnot a respone to whatever I'm suddenly under, I have been framed)
This is very weird when taken out of context, not gonna lie.
Lol, I swear this was a response to a now deleted post.
it was, idk what happened here
Jesus. Do I even need to point out how dumb and fallacious this comment is?
yes, explain to me how it is fallacious to hold them to the same standards on other common commodities produced by soulless corporation with terrible track records.
I think I misinterpreted your earlier comment. It looks like you wrote it in response to a now-deleted comment by that Kang guy, and not Synnr7. Sorry if that's the case.
oh I see, I had no idea the layout looks this weird when comments get deleted. That explains a lot.
In that case you should uninstall every non-indie game you own. It's fair to say almost every development team is passionate about the game they spent so much time making, and they want their players to be happy with what they made. But on the corporate level...AAA companies don't give a fuck about the players, just their money. If they get a nice juicy paycheck out of you and then you quit in disgust after two months, you're still more "valuable" to them than a passionate, loyal free2play player that has never sent them a cent. If they could make the same money burning garbage rather than trying to sell games, they would. Most of the execs probably don't even know what games are.
Dude, that's a pretty bleak outlook.
Caring about other people, whether they care about you or not, is the bare minimum for a functioning world.
