Blizzard / Activision Sued California over “Frat” Environment and Staggering Harassment

The Emily Show

Blizzard/Activision has been sued over allegations of staggering harassment and workplace discrimination that have resulted in female employees being forced to leave their jobs to protect themself and one employee taking her own life. The allegations are triggering and raw, but sadly not unfamiliar to many women in male-dominated fields. Hopefully, this suit will signal to other women in gaming that it may be safe to sue, to push for fair treatment, to end harassment, and to demand equal pay.
