For several months, we were able to observe how one of the most important investigations ever carried out in the video game industry was carried out, where Activision was investigated due to the numerous cases of discrimination and harassment within the company towards a large number of workers, something that, honestly, it is a shame that these things continue to happen in the middle of the year 2021. But things have not ended, since Activision CEO is under investigation by the US government, due to discrimination and harassment cases.
This news is collected by neither more nor less than The Wall Street Journal, where they state that The Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States (SEC) have subpoenaed both Kotick and the entire board of directors of the company to find out if they were hiding evidence about the cases of discrimination and harassment. IF this turns out to be the case, the entire board of directors would be facing a huge problem.

We must be grateful that these types of cases come to light, since Being in the XXI century, that this type of thing continues happening, it is very sad and, whether we like it or not, it greatly disfigures the vision that we give as an industry. Hopefully this issue is settled soon.
