    I assume he didn't do anything wrong, but even Afrasabi probably said "My move has been in the works for a while".

    "Probably" Do you know this or are you just making an assumption?

    So was Metzen's and Morheim's and Ghostcrawler's and......... Yeah

    What's with the high turnover rate for Blizzard leaders recently?

    Because given the context of whats happening now, im leaning towards "the environment there is toxic and nobody wants to be a part of it"

    Did they even do anything bad? I only know of Afrasiabi and Brack as they were mentioned in the lawsuit.

    Huh?

    I'm not implying any of them did anything bad. I'm saying that this is like the hundredth high-level Blizzard dev/manager/etc to leave within the past few years and their reasons are probably related. Seems to me that it's become a shitty place to work.

    Who wants to be a part of a company that can't release games, has lost its prestige, and throws its employees under the bus to placate the twitter mob?

    Turnover in a company with almost 10000 employees? Who'd've thought.

    Who cares? Someone quitting during a scandal & subsequent outrage doesn't implicate them.

    The people leaving because the environment is toxic are the lower workers we don’t hear about the metzen’s and morheim’s are the ones who helped make it that way and keep it that way if ex and current employe statements are any thing to go off of.
    All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

    Eh, people in this industry change jobs all the time. It shouldn't 'seem to you' that its become a shitty place to work if all you're doing is correlating whats happening now to anyone in the company leaving.

    Hell you could do this 6 months ago, and say it's because of Blitzchung. Or go a year back before that and it's because Reforged was released with terrible reviews. Or go a year before that and people are leaving because Diablo Immortal was announced.

    If it were really such a shitty place to work at, people wouldn't be holding protests to *keep their jobs and while wanting to change company policy*, they'd literally just walk out and find a new job. And reality is, it's still just a job. Again, this harassment shit is industry-wide, and the public is just seeing this now. Riot, Ubisoft have also been outed on this, and who knows how many more companies have kept this shit hush hush.

    Exactly this.

    Why do people love speculating and assuming why people leave the company? As if any argument would ever be validated for the ones who leave without providing a reason.

    You will probably never know. What is the use in debating over it.
