California has accused Activision Blizzard of concealing and suppressing evidence related to this case. This new settlement agreement seems to have reignited the state’s concerns about Activision Blizzard. Since the lawsuit was first exposed, shareholders have stated that they have suffered economic damage because company executives deliberately concealed information about the sexual harassment lawsuit.
Blizzard President J. Allen Brack has left the company and is now led by Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra. Activision Blizzard also confirmed that the company’s human resources director Jesse Meschuk (who has been with the company for 12 years) also left in early August.
