Lige nu efterforskes Activision Blizzard af to separate statlige instanser, og selvom resultatet af disse efterforskninger endnu er ukendte, så er det en underdrivelse at sige at de for alvor er kommet i fedtefadet.
I forbindelse med disse sager er mange ansatte, særligt hos Blizzard, blevet afskediget, eller har forladt virksomheden, efter det kom frem at de enten selv havde chikaneret andre medarbejdere på systematisk vis, eller har medvirket. Nu siger Activision, at yderligere 20 ansatte er blevet fyret.
Ovre hos IGN siger Frances Townsend (der i første omgang afviste anklagerne fra DFEH), at de har afskediget 20 medarbejdere som følge af deres egen interne efterforskning:
"More than 20 Activision Blizzard employees have been fired since harassment allegations first came to light, according to Frances Townsend, Activision Blizzard's executive vice president for corporate affairs. In addition, more than 20 others have faced "other types of disciplinary action." Activision Blizzard's announcements came as part of a larger update in which Townsend outlined the publisher's response to the various allegations that have dogged the company since the summer. They include adding three more positions to the company's Ethics and Compliance team, with 19 more planned for the future. Activision Blizzard also says its will "triple" its investment into training resources."
Det er endnu ukendt hvilke medarbejdere der er tale om.
