A former Activision Blizzard employee has claimed he was fired for writing jokes parodying corporate greed in World of Warcraft.
Blizzard scribe Eric Covington says he wrote jokes "lampooning generic corporate gree" for the game's Loot Specialist loot goblin, a character working for the in-game Venture Company.
However, Covington claims Blizzard leadership then "saw a reflection" in his words, and he was swiftly fired after nine years of service.
