I'm hoping that the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion officer is able to actually achieve those stated goals. I've worked at a company with a DEI officer before and they've served as little more than cover for the company to point to in the event they fuck up in the public eye.
It's still a capitalist endeavor at the end of the day though and this hiring is probably something management is doing to attempt to dissuade the unionization effort going on at ActiBlizz.
In my experience, the only thing they do is tell people they have the option to put their pronouns at the end of their Zoom names, and then pat themselves on the back.

They just want more people to exploit and virtue signal about how inclusive they are. The video game industry is horribly exploitative.
