Furthermore, it is reported that the CEO was not only aware of the allegations, but also made attempts to cover them up.ADVERT ADVERT However, in a new report from Bloomberg, it is claimed that PlayStation boss Jim Ryan sent an email to his employees addressing the allegations against Activision Blizzard. It’s claimed that Ryan told employees that he is “disheartened and frankly stunned to read” that Activision “has not done enough to address a deep-seated culture of discrimination and harassment.” Credit: Activision Blizzard “We reached out to Activision immediately after the article was published to express our deep concern and to ask how they plan to address the claims made in the article,” wrote Ryan. “We do not believe their statements of response properly address the situation.” If the reports are true regarding the email sent from Jim Ryan, it will be interesting to see how PlayStation reacts to future collaborations with Activision. The relationship between PlayStation and Activision has been ongoing for decades. Most recently, it’s involved timed-exclusive content with the likes of Call of Duty.ADVERT ADVERT So heartened to see so many people show up to make their voices heard. Over 150 people at last count in person, and a lot more participating remotely. #actiblizzwalkout pic.twitter.com/PdU3QrDiAK- Valentine Powell ??️‍??️‍ (@valentine_irl) November 16, 2021 We’ll keep you updated as this ongoing story develops.
