Diablo IV Game Director and Lead Designer Leave Blizzard [Aug 11, 2021, 7:20 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Kotaku reports that another three developers "are no longer with" Blizzard
as of today. They are Diablo IV game director Luis Barriga, Diablo IV
lead designer Jesse McCree, and World of Warcraft designer Jonathan
LeCraft. This was originally attributed to anonymous sources, but was later
confirmed by Blizzard. The reasons for the firings is not disclosed, so it's not
being stated at this time whether this is connected to the
Activision Blizzard
lawsuit. Jesse McCree is one of the developers implicated in the
Cosby suite story, which has
caused the company additional embarrassment. Here's the official statement
Kotaku received from Activision Blizzard:
“We can confirm Luis Barriga, Jesse McCree, and Jonathan LeCraft are no longer with the company,” they wrote.
“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.”

That is some messed up stuff, I definitely wouldn't want to work people like this. I never understand misogyny. Everyone has a mother at the very least, most people have a sister or daughter, so how can anyone hold these views.
I'm really happy to see the company taking action to hold these individuals to account. Being a hater of cancel culture however, I hope that these people are able to learn and see the errors of their ways. Even Neo-Nazi's can reform, and we embrace them, instead of letting the Twitter mob force them into hiding.
