This was the woman that fished ‘Carrie’ out of the trashcan and wouldnt let Stephen take a higher paying job when they were super broke because it would take from Stephens writing time.

Distractions to make you feel “something was done”
Remember Blizzard has had problems way before JAB was president. Making him the fall guy fixes nothing.
Co-leaders? Not presidents? What’s going on?
BREAKING: Blizzard president J. Allen Brack is leaving the company, Activision Blizzard just told staff. Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will take over as "co-leaders of Blizzard."

One more thing on this - the HR there are FOR Blizz not the employees, maybe 1 or 2 HR reps fight the good fight but when I was there I had council with FIVE lead HR women about my 2yrs of harassment/ bullying and they swept it under the rug
But that’s a story for another time..
Blizzard president J. Allen Brack sent out an email to staff last night addressing the allegations from this week's explosive lawsuit, calling them "extremely troubling" and saying that he'd be "meeting with many of you to answer questions and discuss how we can move forward."

That’s what they get. I hate when games claim or go along with “the next xyz killer” The formulas for each game only work for that game and the only one that can knock it down and shoot it in the foot is itself. Nothing needs to get killed, let people enjoy their games…
