I don't think the streamers who have quit streaming their games did it to keep their own brands from being damaged. Not entirely, at least. I think a lot of them have quit streaming WoW and other Blizz games as a show of solidarity with those who have been victimized by them.
Yeah maybe. I don't know. I'm pretty jaded about corporate morality when money enters the equation and streamers are very susceptible to being cancelled since all it takes is one click to unsubscribe.
Either way it's a bummer in many ways. An once great company is going down the drain (and has been for years, even aside from what's been revealed lately), the gaming industry has yet another scandal counted against it to show what a toxic niche in the industry it is, and some great games' futures are up in the air.
Although to be honest players are fickle. If Diablo 4 comes out and it's amazing I could see people flocking to buy it.
