This is an announcement that comes to shake the world of video game again, and more particularly Activision Blizzard. Given the magnitude of the crisis currently traversing the publisher, it was obvious that changes would hit the management team. And if J. Allen Brack officially leaves his position to "pursue other opportunities," the way that Activision Blizzard do to present things suggests that he is moving here with a good and quiet limogeage.

Note that the editing giant takes advantage of two people from the "Old Blizzard" to this new position. In addition, it is interesting to emphasize that Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra inherit here from the post of "Coleaders" and not "presidents." This way does not present things is not innocuous given the importance given to organizational charts in large American groups.
