Activision Blizzard efterforskes lige nu af adskillige statslige enheder for ikke bare at kreere et arbejdsmiljø, der var under al kritik for specifikke typer medarbejdere, men også at aktivt tysse på dem der henvendte sig med klager til eksempelvis HR-afdelingen, og sågar hævne sig på dem der talte åbent om deres oplevelser.
Dette beskrives i et åbent brev fra en anonym medarbejder, som har fået dæknavnet "Christine". Hun repræsenteres af Lisa Bloom i en kommende retsag, og Christine beskriver sin tid hos Activision Blizzard således:
"Working at Blizzard was my dream job. When I first heard about all the talented people working at Blizzard, I knew that was somewhere I wanted to work. I was so excited to be a part of a community that seemed to care so much about their employees. Unfortunately, that didn't happen for me. Since I've been employed at Blizzard, I've been subjected to rude comments about my body, unwanted sexual advances, inappropriately touched, subjected to alcohol-fueled team events and "cube crawls," invited to have casual sex with my supervisors, and surrounded by a frat boy culture that's detrimental to women.
When I complained to my supervisors, I was told they were "just joking," and that I should get over it. I began to remove myself from work events to avoid sexual comments and groping. I was told not to go to HR. After I complained of the sexual harassment, I was demoted. I was then further harassed and retaliated against. I've been denied my full profit sharing, denied shares in the company, and had minimal raises in the four years I've been employed with Blizzard."
Lisa Bloom repræsenterer ikke bare Christine, men større gruppe af nuværende og tidligere medarbejdere hos Activision Blizzard, der har været offer for lignende behandling. Bloom søger i første omgang en forligsfond på $100 millioner, en reel, oprigtig undskyldning til ofrene og en uafhængig undersøgelse af både virksomheden og de følgevirkninger som de pågældende ansatte har lidt.
