McCree, whose name was borrowed for SupervisionCowboy Hero – has been a lead-level designer at Blizzard since 2005, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was photographed in recently released photos of the so-called Cosby Suite from Blizzard developers, a nickname for a hotel room mentioned in a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard; it also appeared in screenshots of a text message thread with other Blizzard staff members about the suite. According to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, the former World of warcraft creative director “[Alex] Afrasiabi was so well known for participating in the harassment of women that his suite was dubbed the ‘Crosby Suite’ [sic] after alleged rapist Bill Crosby [sic]. “

The departures of those three Blizzard developers follow two other highly publicized departures: former Blizzard Entertainment president J. Allen Brack, and Blizzard Entertainment and Activision Blizzard senior staff officer Jesse Meschuk.

In July, Activision Blizzard was sued by the California Department of Housing and Fair Employment (DFEH) for creating a “frat boy culture” that allowed gender discrimination and sexual harassment to proliferate. Several top executives, including former Blizzard president J. Allen Brack, have been described by the lawsuit as knowing and enabling the alleged behavior. The DFEH said it conducted a two-year investigation into Activision Blizzard before filing the lawsuit.

Immediately after the lawsuit, Activision Blizzard made an official statement saying that the lawsuit contained “distorted, and in many cases false, descriptions of Blizzard’s past.” Activision Blizzard executive (and former George W. Bush national security adviser) Frances Townsend called the lawsuit “truly without merit and irresponsible” in a statement that has since been criticized by current and former staff. Thousands of Activision Blizzard employees signed a letter calling for Townsend to resign as executive sponsor of the women’s network. Following the letter, Activision Blizzard employees in California and elsewhere left work in protest of the leadership’s response.
