One of the major scandals within the videogame industry in recent years keeping what to talk about. The demand filed against Activision Blizzard for sexual harassment continues to leave headlines.
After several months when we have seen as many senior charges abandoned the company, the Company s Compliance Director, Frances Townsend, has launched a letter in which more information has been known.
After renewing the management of it, Activision Blizzard has been investigating this type of behaviors, which has led by the dismissal of 20 employees , the publication commented.
In recent months, we have received an increase in reports through several information channels. People are taking out concerns, ranging from years to this year.
We welcome these reports and our team has been working to investigate them, using a combination of internal and external resources , the publication continued.
In relation to several resolved reports, More than 20 people have left Activision Blizzard and more than 20 people have faced other types of disciplinary measures.
It should be noted that this list includes developers, but not to Board members. However, some of the peaks have been abandoning the company in these last weeks.
We hope that the situation for the workers of the company improves and that these behaviors are not repeated.
In terms of development, the company continues correcting very criticized aspects. Without going further, the new update of World of Warcraft eliminates suggestive dialogues and sexual innuendos and tributes to Alex Afrasiabi, who left the company in 2020.
