Activision Blizzard: Three other recruitments; Soc Investment Group criticizes measures to work up toxic corporate education

Three other employees have left Blizzard Entertainment, including Luis Barriga (Game Director of Diablo 4), Jesse McCree (Lead Designer of Diablo 4) and Jonathan Lecraft (Game Designer at World of Warcraft). The company has confirmed the departures against Kotaku, but named no reasons.

Blizzard: _ WE HAVE A DEEP, Talented Roster of Developers Already in Place and New Leaders Have Been Assigned Where ApproprIate. We Are Confident in Our Ability to Continue Progress, Deliver Amazing Experiences to Our Players, and Move Forward to Ensure A Safe, Productive Work Environment for All. _

Kotaku wants to learn from a source that the departures in connection with the recent reports on the misconduct of executives and the general working conditions would be in the company (we reported). So Jesse McCree and Jonathan were Lecraft e.g. on the Cosby Suite Photo (Blizzcon 2013) to see - Alex Afrasiabi. Afrasiabi is one of the few persons who are named in the action by name, in which he is accused, female employees have sexually harassed and welcomed. Also, Cory Stockton (also recognizable in the photo) should have been taken first. Why had Luis Barriga left the company or had to leave it is not known.

Furthermore, the SOC Investment Group (a shareholder of Activision Blizzard) criticized the work-up of toxic working conditions and the measures taken (we reported). It is said that the changes announced by Bobby Kotick (CEO of Activision Blizzard) would not go far enough to tackle the profound issues in equal rights, integration and personnel management. Thus, no financial measures were named against executives, which should have laid abusive behavior on the day. There were also no measures announced in order to ensure more equality in the Management Board or the Management Board. The verification of the recorded incidents and allegations by the law firm Wilmerhale should be defective in several ways, as the company should have an excellent reputation as a defender of the rich and wealthy. The senior investigator should also have no incoming experience in the investigation of harassment, misconduct and abuse in the workplace and the scope of the investigation should not go to the full range of equity issues granted by Bobby Kotick (Source: MMO Champion).
