Activision Blizzard Sued By California: A Deep Dive into Workplace Discrimination Allegations

Activision Blizzard, a major player in the global video game industry, is facing a lawsuit from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) over claims of a "frat boy" workplace culture that allegedly fosters discrimination and harassment, particularly against female employees. The lawsuit comes after a two-year DFEH investigation into the company's practices, revealing serious issues such as discrimination, unequal pay, and sexual harassment.
