Jan 14, 2024 ~ 'California’s Legal War against Activision Blizzard Shows the Process Is the Punishment' 'Activision Blizzard will pay $54 million — and the state will admit that no investigation, including its own, “has substantiated any allegations that: there has been systemic or widespread sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard.” Nor is there any evidence, California now admits, “that Activision Blizzard senior executives ignored, condoned, or tolerated a culture of systemic, harassment, retaliation, or discrimination; or that Activision Blizzard’s Board of Directors including its Chief Executive Officer, Robert Kotick, acted improperly with regard to the handling of any instances of workplace misconduct.”' Its pure extortion. The case had no merit but the state wears them down until they cry uncle and give them a big payday. [California, Fake Sexism, Regulations]
