A producer at Blizzard has taken to Twitter to express frustration at a series of departures from the World of Warcraft studio, saying the team is making "crisis maps" of what they can and cannot ship due to so many employees leaving.

Being loud about it because I've lost yet *another* person this week.

Blizzard is losing amazing talent because someone in power doesn't listen to the game directors who make his products. DE&I also means diversity of thought, especially when it's backed by data and financials.

In a thread earlier this week, Adam "Glaxigrav" lamented that they had lost "*another* person this week," saying that Blizzard "is losing amazing talent because someone in power doesn't listen to the game directors who make his products."

The WOW team is leaving, next Overwatch and COD please. Let it all burn.

Diablo will be big no matter what but everything else needs to die ASAP.

Thank you "someone in power"

Diversity of thought is used by those that value the content of one’s character and their perspective as the key to their value vs those who base their world view through identity politics where race, skin colour and sexuality are the primary defining value to a person.
