In an email sent to PlayStation employees that was then viewed by Bloomberg, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan criticized Activision Blizzard’s patterns of harassment and discrimination.
Ryan, who wrote that he was “disheartened and stunned” by the reports, says Activision hasn’t “done enough to address a deep-seated culture of discrimination and harassment.”
Unsurprisingly, Activision Blizzard’s own employees have responded to the current events loudly as well, with many of them even calling for CEO Bobby Kotick’s resignation.
Unexpectedly, the response from all corners of the industry has been one of shock, which includes one of Activision’s more prominent working partners as well.
