While David Brevik did move to GGG, he is not a dev there. He is an “advisor” and was originally hired to oversee their product exportation to China. Now GGG founded their company making games on the D2 engine, and were big fans of it, but I am pretty sure Brevik is the only D2 team member that went over, and he isn’t a dev there, at least not fully.
They either fail to realize that the avatar is to maintain anonymity, while giving people a personable figure to watch, or they are just one of those people who don’t like it due to personal preferences, and want to sound like they have a better reason than that.
