As shared by Axios, Activision Blizzard HR reportedly shredded documents related to the recent investigation. This two-year investigation explored complaints of a sexist workplace environment and abuse, resulting in a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard.
The State of California is expanding its lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, amending its complaints to add in temporary workers, who are also protected against harassment and receive equal pay opportunities. The amended complaint notes that the Department of Fair Employment & Housing (DFEH) was “informed and aware that documents and records have not been maintained as required by law,” while alleging that “documents related to investigations and complaints were shredded by human resource personnel.”
In response to this ongoing lawsuit, Blizzard Entertainment president J. Allen Brack left the company, with Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra now co-leading Blizzard Entertainment. Several high-level developers have also been removed from the company, including the director of Diablo 4 and others.
Activision Blizzard is a large gaming publisher, with several upcoming titles including Call of Duty: Vanguard, Diablo 2: Resurrected and Diablo 4.
