Do we need more reasons to dislike Blizzard? (Gaming)

Do you have any data at all on how Blizzard's salaries stack up against other game companies? Or other tech jobs? Or... well, anything?

I mean, I'm all for companies paying a living wage... but that's not really a thing in America (in general). Why pick on Blizzard, specifically, unless you can put this info in context?

(And no, the mention of one employee getting a pay raise by moving to Riot Games doesn't count as context.)

I think this is fair. A better analysis would contextualize it in the relatively bad labor practices throughout the games industry. It's a shame that Blizzard isn't terribly different from other developers.
