Description

It sure has taken some time before I decided to cover the Activision Blizzard lawsuit since there were so many new reports coming out what seemed like daily since the lawsuit was made public. This week's topic, I will be covering events that have transpired since the lawsuit came out and give my opinion on what seems likely to have a positive impact on the company's future workplace and what does not. It's a long topic this week, therefore, news quickies will replace the regular news segment.
