A statement issued yesterday says media criticism “is without merit”
In fact, another, separate review of data concludes that “there was no widespread harassment, pattern or practice of harassment, or systemic harassment at Activision Blizzard or at any of its business units” in the United States between September 1st, 2016 and December 31st, 2021. Indeed, “based on the volume of reports, the amount of misconduct reflected is comparatively low for a company the size of Activision Blizzard.” You can read the SEC filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in fullhere.

Yesterday’s statement from Activision Blizzard’s board of directors reads like someone trying very hard to draw a line under things. Despite having comprehensively found they didn’t do anything wrong, the statement also lists “reforms and improvements” company management have made with the board’s supervision, including “the launch of a new company-wide zero-tolerance harassment policy.” We can only wait for the outcome of the company’s annual meeting on June 21st.
