US senators are concerned about Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard
Through the text of the lawsuit, it is specified that (translated): “Given Kotick’s personal responsibility for Activision’s broken workplace, it should have been clear to the Board that he was not in a position to negotiate the sale of the Company. But it was not like that”. The lawsuit emphasizes that Activision Blizzard is avoiding responsibility by using the Microsoft acquisition to its advantage. As a result, the plaintiffs demand that they be given a large number of internal documents related to Bobby Kotick, to show that he was aware of everything that was happening.
