Share departure follows great sexism scandal
What happened before the descent? The low point of the stock is ahead of a large scandal, which started on 20 July with the action of a state authority in California. The authority accused Blizzard to promote a toxic operating climate and suspend women's sexual assaults.
An official statement from the boss of Activision (Bobby Kotick) and Blizzard (J. All Bracken) does not exist. However, there were internal mails to the employees to the public. Among them was an opinion of Chief Compliance Officer Frances Townsend.
More on the subject:
- "Cocaine on the toilet, sex in the lounge" - scandal to wow developer Blizzard escalated
- Wow-icon Chris Metzen says Blizzard Scandal: "We have failed"
- WOW player demonstrate against Blizzard - make sit-ins, slaughter NPC
The reaction of the employees of Activision Blizzard drops quite loud. Over 1,500 employees signed an open letter in which it says: "We will be the change." Great criticisms are the statements of Kotick, Brack and Townsend. The statements are "repulsive and insulting".
Another consequence of the scandal is that the work is just resting at World of Warcraft. The developers hardly work hardly until the MMORPG and even some players show their displeasure.
Here on Meinmmo we have followed the scandal closely and watched. Our editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski refers to the whole situation clearly:
The reaction of Activision Blizzard to the sexism lawsuit was terribly wrong
