In case you were wondering how Blizzard couldn't be circling the drain any further, they go and do this.
The only thing I can see in her favor is that she claims to be a Christian and doesn't appear to have a social media presence, but everything else weighs against her far too heavily to have anything but pessimism.
That actually sounds rather good. Is there anything other than the fact that she might be a diversity hire that counts against her - other than, you know, being picked by Blizzard.
She was the CoD GM on Activision and worked for the NFL (in what appears to the marketing departments). She was almost certainly picked by Microsoft.
She calls herself a big "fan of Diablo 4" rather than a Diablo fan, which is terrible, and she talks about her fondness for yoga and motherhood in her statement (the latter wouldn't be an issue for a normal woman, but for someone in charge of a vidya company, its exceptionally rare to have a based gamer mom on top of those things).
Many things about her feel "fake" if you read the statement. I don't buy what she's selling.
Even if she's somehow that 1 in 100 million type, it won't really change anything because there are far bigger issues at Blizzard than just the President position, like the board of directors, shareholders, and the fact that Blizzard has no talent, passion or soul anymore (and I mean that literally, pretty much everyone's fucking gone)
Edit: Also, she dresses like a man at least in one of the photos attached to the tweet.
