Designer Jesse McCree was a veteran Blizzard employee who participated in the production of “World of Warcraft”, “Diablo 3” and the upcoming “Diablo 4”. Jesse McCree left Blizzard Entertainment this month due to appearing in the “Cosby Suite” photo of “World of Warcraft” developer Alex Afrasiabi who was directly listed on the California court list. Although most of the employees in the scene insist that being in the Cosby suite does not mean that they belong to the Activision Blizzard Brotherhood system, the outside world still believes that they have major suspicions. According to multiple victims, Alex Afrasiabi had verbally and physically harassed multiple female colleagues.
“Douzhen Special Attack” officially wrote on Twitter: “We have created the “Douzhen Special Attack” universe with a diversified and fair spirit, and hope to contribute to a better future. And in order to better reflect the “Douzhen Special Attack” universe. “We believe that renaming McCalley is a must.” In addition, the official also mentioned in the article that “Fighting Battle” was originally expected to be launched in September this year, with McCalley as one of the main characters.
