A fourth developer is also mentioned in the report
Diablo 2 Resurrected Items, but has been put on leave rather than let go. That name is Cory Stockton, a World of Warcraft lead game designer. Stockton was also a part of the same Cosby Suite photograph that Jonathan LeCraft was. No other allegations against Stockton are known.
There's no clear evidence that these three men were let go from Blizzard as a result of any alleged association with recent reports of gender discrimination at the company. That some of their names have been mentioned in related reports could be coincidental. Blizzard is unlikely to comment on specific employee-related topics.
Diablo 4's development seems like it is continuing to progress smoothly despite the backlash Blizzard has received lately. This may be evident due to the recent alleged version number change in Diablo 4's development, though this could mean anything.
Still, fans seem to be excited for Diablo 4 and what it has to offer to the ARPG community as the genre has become rather stale as of late. With Path of Exile's Expedition league launch doing poorly compared to past launches, and Diablo: Immortal getting pushed back to 2022 now
buy d2r items, it seems like all fans have left to look forward to this year is Diablo 2: Resurrected.
