Three prominent Activision Blizzard developers have left the company in the wake of a bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit filed by California state.
Diablo IV game director Luis Barriga, Blizzard lead level designer Jesse McCree (who's also the namesake for Overwatch's cowboy hero), and World of Warcraft designer Jonathan LeCraft's names are no longer displayed on Blizzard's employee directory or company slack, according to Kotaku.
The publication's sources said Activision Blizzard didn't specify why all three devs were ousted from their posts. However, these firings arrive after a lawsuit California filed against the gaming giant alleged that the company fostered a culture of widespread sexual harassment and discrimination.
Jesse McCree is of particular mention, as he was one of many current and former Activision Blizzard developers seen in the now infamous "Cosby Suite" photo that made its rounds in late July. Jonathan LeCraft also appears in this photo, as does Blizzard lead game designer Cory Stockton. According to Kotaku, Stockton was placed on leave earlier this month but remains at Blizzard.
