Streamer Imain Pokimane Anis said that her colleagues should abandon Activision Blizzard games on their broadcasts. According to her, this primarily applies to those who earn good money.
Imain Pokimane Anise:
“I think if you're a financially secure streamer, you shouldn't fucking do this [playing Activision Blizzard titles]. But I understand that some may find themselves in a situation where their income is highly dependent on Bilzzard games. But I think that then in any case they should openly declare that they are against everything that happens to the company. “
In July, Activision Blizzard began a massive discrimination against women. The position of the company's management on this issue did not satisfy the studio staff, who staged a series of strikes. After that, several top management representatives left the company. In addition, several US government agencies have filed lawsuits against Activision Blizzard at once.
Later, The Wall Street Journal released an investigation about Bobby the Cat. It claims that the head of Activision Blizzard knew about harassment and discrimination in the company for many years, but stood up for the accused and withheld information. After that, some of the employees demanded his resignation. Kotik said that he would leave his post if he could not resolve the situation.
