The president of Activision's Blizzard Entertainment, J. Allen Brack, is stepping down weeks after the video game company was hit with a discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit in California as well as backlash from employees over the work environment. "There is no place anywhere at our company for discrimination, harassment or unequal treatment of any kind," he wrote. On Tuesday, it was announced that Brack was leaving the company in a letter from Activision Blizzard president and COO Daniel Alegre to employees. Brack joined Blizzard in January 2006 and held multiple leadership roles before being named president in October 2018, according to the company's website. Oneal served as executive vice president of development at Blizzard, while Ybarra served as executive vice president and general manager of platform and technology.
