To recap, in the last few months of 2018, Blizzard lost Mike Morhaime (their CEO) and the entire core Hearthstone team (Team 5 people in very high positions including Ben Brode, Yong Woo, Hamilton Chu, etc…).
On top of that, Blizzard broke its decades long tradition of supporting its own games for a very long time by publicly announcing that Heroes of the Storm is going in "maintenance mode". This is right after breaking yet another tradition of quality and developing its own games by announcing Diablo Immortal, developed by Netease.
Now both Activision's and Blizzard's own CFOs are poached back to back the same week. When the CFOs are jumping ship, there's really something wrong.

Something smells fishy, and the fish ain't fresh.
