In this sense, and with several complaints of harassment and discrimination in its offices, Blizzard has set to work to reduce the sexual content of its star title. Something has resulted in the replacement of some World of Warcraft frames, with two very significant examples.<\/p>\n<p>Wowhead has pointed out a portal specialized in this title, with several examples of altered works of art in the game, which have softened their sexual content in a way, at least, curious. The first, located in Stormwind, represented a woman posing in a portrait. They have added more clothes in their latest update, and another of an almost naked woman exchanged for a classic still life, which can now be found in Ravenholdt.<\/p>\n<p>In short, two practically minute changes in the game have only been able to stand out thanks to some data miners since no player has noticed the alteration of these pictures. In this sense, Blizzard has already announced that it would lower the sexual content of World of Warcraft, although we did not expect this to be observed, for the moment, in a couple of decorative works of art.<\/p>\n<p>This latest statement was made due to multiple accusations Activision-Blizzard has received from its employees, who allege they work in a discriminatory work environment. And, despite all the complaints received, the company has done nothing to eliminate the toxicity of its offices, as its developers have denounced. A series of consequences has already reached the ears of government agencies, and that could tarnish the image of Activision-Blizzard forever.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/world-of-warcraft-paintings\/\">PC Gamer<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another small change that affects the inner universe of World of Warcraft, while workers and activists are waiting for more meaningful changes. &nbsp; The most diligent players of World of Warcraft will know that its universe is full of details, both in its history and in the number of decorative objects that, in one way or another, manage to narrate something of its world.
