Hit with #MeToo revolt, Blizzard Entertainment chief is out


The complaint alleges that as far back as 2019, Brack had been told that employees were leaving the Santa Monica, California, company because of rampant sexual harassment and sexism. — AP

The president of Activision’s Blizzard Entertainment is stepping down weeks after the maker of video games like World Of Warcraft and Call Of Duty was hit with a discrimination and sexual harassment lawsuit in California, as well as backlash from employees over their work environment.

The state sued Activision Blizzard Inc last month citing a “frat boy” culture that has become “a breeding ground for harassment and discrimination against women”.
