Former Overwatch 2 Artist Accuses Blizzard of Mistreatment and 'Fake Promotion'

Chris Sayers, ex-lead VFX artist for Overwatch 2, alleges severe mistreatment by Blizzard management, including a 'fake promotion' and lack of support from HR.

Chris Sayers, a former Overwatch 2 artist, alleges mistreatment by Blizzard management, including being given a 'fake promotion'.
Sayers claims he was overworked, managing the workload of four people, and was paid less than 50% of other Lead VFX Artists at Blizzard.
Despite promises of a pay increase and title change, Sayers says he received no written confirmation and was told by HR, 'Why would we pay you more than we have to?'
After filing a formal complaint, an investigation concluded HR did nothing wrong. Sayers resigned and was then restricted from working anywhere for three months due to a non-compete clause.
Sayers now works as lead VFX Artist at Anchor Point Studios, while his accusations raise concerns about Blizzard's commitment to improving its workplace culture.
