Less than two weeks after California regulators filed a lawsuit alleging years of sexual discrimination and harassment at Activision Blizzard, the president of the company’s Blizzard division is out. He will be replaced by Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra, both relative newcomers to Blizzard, who will jointly lead the company. Brack was one of only two Blizzard executives specifically named in the suit, which alleges that he knew about harassment, discrimination and retaliation but failed to take appropriate action in response. Brack’s resignation was not among the employee demands, but his brief tenure at the top of the game studio has been marked by public crises. “We call on you and your executive leadership team to do better, and to fully address our list of demands,” the letter stated.
