This man:
* Lied about what he knew about sexual harassment at his company, *to his board*, about things that would result in massive lawsuits against the company.
* Left a voice mail threatening to have his female assistant killed (which he's admitted to)

* Promoted a woman to "co-leader" of Blizzard, only to have her leave *3 months* later citing "tokenism" and unfair pay.
* Made a different woman at the company send out an email defending the company, *that he wrote* and then said the email was in bad taste once it went bad

I'm just saying, if people understood this as the CEO of a "major tech company" instead of a "video game" company the calls would be deafening and the story would be part of most mainstream broadcasts.
