J. Allen Brack, the president of Irvine-based video games maker Blizzard Entertainment, is leaving the company, according to a company statement today. The departure follows a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit filed against the company by California officials last month.
The statement said that executive vice presidents Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra have been appointed co-leaders of Blizzard.
CNBC said Brack did not immediately respond to the channel’s request for comment sent to his Yahoo email account.
Shares in parent company Activision Blizzard were down 4.9% to $78.74 apiece for a market cap of $61.2 billion following the announcement of Brack’s departure.
