Alex afrasiabi is the former senior creative director for world of warcraft
It isn’t hard to imagine why a World of Warcraft player would be furious at the termination of Alex Afrasiabi, the former senior creative director of the game. The former director was recently fired from his job at Activision Blizzard, who has since denied any wrongdoing. Afrasiabi was accused of sexual harassment and has been fired from his previous roles due to his misconduct. The lawsuit claims that Afrasiabi’s behavior at the company was inappropriate. Afrasiabi’s termination comes after an internal investigation by Activision Blizzard into allegations of sexual harassment and alleged inappropriate behavior.
The allegations against Afrasiabi are related to his behavior at Activision’s Blizzard Entertainment, which was founded by Afrasiabi and former senior creative director for the world of Warcraft. The complaint also claims that Afrasiabi engaged in sexual harassment and was too friendly with female employees. The allegations have reportedly been made public after an employee brought the incidents to Blizzard’s attention in June 2020.
Afrasiabi joined Blizzard in 2004 and was a quest designer for the World of Warcraft. He was also creative director of the Warlords of Draenor expansion. The company later fired Afrasiabi due to misconduct and failure to promote female employees. Regardless of whether Afrasiabi’s actions were intentional, Blizzard has made it clear that he was fired in June 2020 for insubordination and inappropriate behavior.
