Activision Blizzard exec Brack resigns as company reckons with harassment lawsuit

A top executive at Activision Blizzard is leaving the company nearly two weeks after the video game maker was hit with an explosive sexual harassment lawsuit from regulators in California.

J. Allen Brack, president of the company's Blizzard division, announced his resignation to staff members on Tuesday. The company said Brack is leaving "to pursue new opportunities." Mike Ybarra and Jen Oneal, two of Blizzard's executive vice presidents, have been named co-leaders of the division behind such popular games as Call of Duty, Overwatch and World of Warcraft.  Brack is leaving at a time when Activision Blizzard is undergoing major workplace culture changes, company officials have said. The changes stem from a lawsuit this month by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing, or DFEH, that accuses Activision Blizzard of having a "frat boy" culture where sexual harassment complaints go unresolved.
