No, it's because corporations own the intellectual property rights to anything you create while under their employ. Some are strict enough that they make you keep the baby there until they say their first word so they can copyright it on the spot.

To all members of the Blizzard Community,
We want to let you know about an important leadership change at Blizzard Entertainment.
Starting today, J. Allen Brack will be stepping down as the leader of the studio, and Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will co-lead Blizzard moving forward.
Jen joined Blizzard in January as executive vice president of development, where shes been providing senior development leadership and support to the Diablo and Overwatch franchises. Jen is the former head of Vicarious Visions (which is now part of Blizzard Entertainment).
After many years at XBOX, Mike joined the company in 2019 as the executive vice president and general manager of platform and technology, where hes been overseeing the evolution of Battle.net and our development services organization.
Jen and Mike have more than three decades of gaming industry experience between them. Moving forward, they will share responsibilities over game development and company operations.
Both leaders are deeply committed to all of our employees; to the work ahead to ensure Blizzard is the safest, most welcoming workplace possible for women, and people of any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or background; to upholding and reinforcing our values; and to rebuilding your trust. With their many years of industry experience and deep commitment to integrity and inclusivity, Jen and Mike will lead Blizzard with care, compassion, and a dedication to excellence. Youll hear more from Jen and Mike soon.
The following is a message from J. Allen Brack:
I am confident that Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will provide the leadership Blizzard needs to realize its full potential and will accelerate the pace of change. I anticipate they will do so with passion and enthusiasm and that they can be trusted to lead with the highest levels of integrity and commitment to the components of our culture that make Blizzard so special.
Finally, thank you all for being a part of the Blizzard community, and for your passion and determination for safety and equality for all.

You could say that bad hires in the executive level that contributed to this are on him, but also him simply leaving wouldn't fix that. If anything that would shield them.

The Governor of New York is going to either resign or be removed after significant sexual violations of his own, yet his PR spin somehow managed to be even worse.

The bulk of his defense was to show a montage that clearly depicts the message of.. "I sexually harass everyone, not just women. I've been doing it for years! We're cool now, right?"

Like he somehow screwed the pooch so much worse than Blizzard did.

I play WoW still because I have this weird sense of loyalty to those I've played with for way too many years now. Not giving Blizzard any more money.

It really isn't anymore. The raid bosses themselves are good encounters but every other piece of content this patch is subpar.

Every character in the story has been left on a cliffhanger with no growth or resolution or even a mention of the motivation to do whatever the hell they are doing.
