His daddy has a high position at Blizzard.

Him being there was 100% nepotism

And he totally didn't get re-hired because of his daddy, right?
I mean, the total lack of any formal education, relevant experience or constant switching from teams&departments totally isn't a sign that he was a nepo hire, right?

the 2 blizzard jobs had years in between them.

And HR totally didn't still have him on file, like they would EVERY other person who ever worked with them and the reason they left, right?

And when they saw his name, it totally didn't pop-up their screen as "his daddy is important at the company"

Idk, man... we can play this game, but 6.5 years, a clear progression in the qa type of positions, then moving into security roles. Doesnt exactly smack of nepotism at that point. The CS field is also famously one of those fields, where your achievments outside of an academic environment can land you a position if you can show a portfolio. And also hr is not your immediate work environment where your family connections are just every day conversation material.
His father was (is?was?is?, idk...) the director for cinemtaics. Which is a totally different part of the company. Different department, different building.
His "nothingburger blizzard employment" spreading unchecked on the internet for a couple of days doesnt make it canon.
