For Activision CEO Bobby Kotick, Blizzard is completely in his hands. The dismissal of Blizzard’s president, J. Allen Brack, yesterday and replaced by “co-chairs” Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra could be the first step in future developments in the studio.

Bobby Kotick, speaking at an investor meeting announcing his second-quarter 2021 financial results, said that while all employees will take the necessary steps quickly to have a safe and inclusive work environment, “people will be held accountable for their actions.”

In fact, it was supposed to be company policy from day one, but when dirty laundry comes along, then they think of making statements like that.

Kotick “will not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment or unequal behavior at any point in our company. No matter where we operate, we will not tolerate discrimination, harassment and unequal behavior in our business environment. For this reason, we will be an exemplary company in the sector.”

“Everyone will be held accountable for their actions. We will not only lay off employees when we deem appropriate, but we will also terminate the employment contracts of managers or leaders who hinder or disrupt the process of investigating allegations.”

Employees reacted to Kotick’s speech by saying, “People like Fran Townsend are still at the firm, you still haven’t responded properly to the demands of the employees,” and let’s note that.
