What an absolute bunch of nothing this is going to be.
Jen is literally just a nobody who worked for Activision helping pump out Tony Hawk and Skylanders games and was only promoted to Blizzard to try and put a woman infront of the controversy (aka Ellen Pao). The idea of her being productive at a studio is pretty laughable.
John Donham is just another nobody who has been buried over at Amazon's video game department and was tangentally related to 2003's Star Wars Galaxies - so literally nothing of value in close to 15 years.
Jay Allen Brack was president of Blizzard and the cause of many of their major controversies. The banning of Blitzchung, the constant China pandering, the shift of Diablo to a phone game, OW's horriffic development hell - these are all things that happened under his watch. If I were serious about launching a game studio, I'd want his name as far away as possible from it.
If I was serious about making a studio that was looking to confront toxicity and mental health issues - I would not even dream of having someone from Blizzard on board when they produced some of the most toxic games ever released to market.
