It's tempting to look over the dialogue and try to figure out if one specific phrase could have got him in trouble. Maybe 'Time to go back to the office!' Or 'Looks like another yacht for me!' perhaps?
Though treasure goblins started as a Diablo thing, they've had a couple of cameos in World of Warcraft, showing up during the Diablo 20th anniversary world event back in 2017 and then as"loot specialists" added in a Dragonflight patch earlier this year. The idea's always the same: they drop treasure if defeated, but only if you catch them before they escape via magic portal.
Making the whole thing particularly strange is the fact that, while Covington claims somebody high up enough to get him fired wasn't a fan, the marketing team definitely was. They continued to use footage of loot specialists saying stereotypically greedy things like"I saw it first!" and"Let's call this a cost-of-living adjustment!" in promotional tweets even after he was shown the door.
