Behind the scenes at Blizzard: Jason Schreier talks misconduct, swingers parties and what press got wrong

Ahead of its publication, I sat down for a chat with Schreier to discuss how the book handles some of its most difficult topics, whether some of the changes have helped Blizzard's staff in the long run, and much more. That led to two men losing their jobs because they just happened to be in a photo [posing with a picture of now-disgraced entertainer Bill Cosby] that today looks horrible, but when it was taken was totally fine. Schreier: They were a large part of Bobby Kotick's huge master plan to transform Activision Blizzard into his own version of Disney with its own ESPN, its own NFL, its own like TV and film network.
