Throughout all the controversy that has surrounded Activision Blizzard In recent months, two main focuses have been created. On the one hand we have the DFEH, the Californian body that started the whirlwind of accusations after imposing a lawsuit for harassment and discrimination. In the other band is the EEOC, the US agency that reached an agreement with the company to compensate the victims with 18 million dollars.
All three parties were involved in the same context, as several DFEH attorneys were involved in the federal investigation against Activision Blizzard on behalf of the EEOC. This situation has caused a conflict of interest and an alleged ethical violationTherefore, Bobby Kotick’s company urged that his trial with the DFEH be suspended.
Now, as Gamesindustry.biz points out, The motion has been rejected by the Los Angeles County Court. Law360 has been the medium that has been able to access this information, although it is surprising that Judge Timothy Patrick Dillion you have not specified any details or arguments that has led you to this decision.
In any case, less than a week after the presentation of said motion it has been annulled. For its part, the DFEH has declared that Activision Blizzard’s request was “unfounded”. Last week, the entity acknowledged having taken measures against more than 40 employees, whether from disciplinary sanctions to dismissals.
