It seems Activision Blizzard employees are looking to turn up the heat on management following last week’s explosive discrimination and harassment lawsuit. For those out of the loop, California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has filed a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at the Call of Duty and World of Warcraft publisher. Activision Blizzard’s official response to the suit accuses the DFEH of “distorted […] and false” descriptions and insists the picture painted is “is not the Blizzard workplace of today.”

Since the DFEH’s accusations were made public, numerous current and former Activision Blizzard employees have stepped forward to share stories of mistreatment, Blizzard’s old-guard have admitted they failed female staff, and an open letter proclaiming the company’s official response to the suit “abhorrent and insulting” has been issued. The situation has now escalated further – at least 2,600 current and former Activision Blizzard employees have signed the open letter, and according to a report from Polygon there are now plans for a worker walkout tomorrow. Of course, due to the lingering pandemic, many workers will participate at home without literally walking out. The #ActiBlizzWalkout hashtag will be used to organize things online.
