Statement by former CM Nevalistis/Brandy/Dayntee
Nevalistis worked at Blizzard first in CS for years before a layoff in 2012. Then again in Community as a Diablo Associate Community Manager.
No, she did not really experience the serious sexual harassment. But she had very significant thoughts on that and the rest of the professional culture. Particularly the disregard for parts of the team
Note, when she left she was the only Community person there. They replaced her with 3-4 people. It was not the first time she did everyone elses job while trying to support the players.
Read…it also addresses the Diablo Immortal stuff. I get why I was left to tank the forums after she was forced to post the legal/pr response.
I have an immense amount of respect for Brandy. And she never shared most of this while she was working. I only realized much of it because it happened to me in a tangential field.
I honestly hope her new dream job at Wizards of the Coast on D&D treats her as the amazing person she is!
Just wanted to chime in here and say Nevalistis accomplishments and lasting impact she had on the Diablo franchise is forever important.
The Diablo franchise and community wouldn’t be here without her contributions. I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to work with her but can say that she set paved the way for the current community team to do so much. I’m glad I can still keep in touch with her and I’m glad she is thriving on D&D as the Wizards of the Coast crew are close friends and rockstars!
