And the CEO remains the CEO.
He needs to be fired. I want to play one of their games but I won't until bobby kotick is no longer the CEO. So never.
Edit: While the tournament was held in Taiwan, Blitzchung is actually a native of Hong Kong.

Blizzard won't say that, too much liability.
What does it mean that there is too much liability? What liability do you have for saying true things? "That person was fired because an investigation conducted by our company suggested they participated in sexual harassment."

why would they know
If they call Blizzard checking references, does Blizzard say “we fired them for sexual harassment.”
Question, when these people find a new job will the person hiring them know?
They won’t automatically know, but: 1) Anyone in the industry presumably knows about this news. If someone’s end date at Activision Blizzard is January 2022, they’re going to have a strong suspicion. 2) Backchannel reference checks (very warranted in this case) will likely confirm it.

I'm baffled at how little shareholders have held Kotick's feet to the fire (and how little he's responded). I guess everyone who cared about company politics sold out when the accusations started flying...
