Former World of Warcraft senior creative director Alex Afrasiabi was fired last summer following an internal investigation, Activision Blizzard has now said.
Afrasiabi's departure had been known, though the details surrounding it – including new and disturbing details of a 2013 BlizzCon hotel room nicknamed the "Cosby suite" – have only now been publicly confirmed following a Kotaku report.
In a statement issued to Kotaku last night, an Activision Blizzard spokesperson revealed an internal investigation into the "Cosby Suite" had taken place in June 2020, following a separate investigation of Afrasiabi. As a result, Afrasiabi was "terminated… for his misconduct in his treatment of other employees".
