Inside the company, the reaction has been mostly positive. “Super awesome that we are leading the way in the industry space with a strong stance,” said one current Bungie employee who, like others who spoke with The Post, did so on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the subject publicly. “It’s weird to me that more people aren’t coming out and standing up for basic human rights.
Activision Blizzard, a prominent game developer facing multiple lawsuits and investigations over its corporate culture and CEO Bobby Kotick, provided a brief statement on abortion rights late Tuesday evening. “We are committed to an inclusive environment that is supportive of all of our employees,” said Rich George, a spokesperson for Activision Blizzard.
Robert Anderberg, CEO and co-founder of indie game studio ControlZee said, said: “Our position on abortion rights in [the] U.S. is that we support a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion for any reason.” The Mother’s Day strike runs from May 8 through May 15 and asks participants to stop working, shopping and eating out as a way to protest the possibility that Roe v. Wade could be overturned.“We’re still scrambling for organization right now,” said Javiera Cordero, an indie developer who is participating in the Mother’s Day strike and compiling resources for best organizing practices.

LauncherWP As Rove v. Wade repeal looms, the Bottled Water, Hard Candy and Sign Language industries stay mostly silent
LauncherWP aka 'Hey industry involved with 'x' can you let us guilt trip u into exploiting ur clout to speak about 'y' even though u have nothing to do with 'y' nor does anyone expect anything about 'y' from you? Please
LauncherWP Don’t even get me started on the shawarma stand industry. They have been real silent on abortion
LauncherWP Why are we jumping on this industry … before it’s repealed? What industries are being vocal?
LauncherWP It's a polarizing subject, especially in the U.S. That's why very, very few brands and companies have a firm stance on it because if they do, it's only gonna add more fuel to the fire. This isn't like racism or sexism, where there's a general consensus.
LauncherWP As they should
LauncherWP I'm still holding my opinion on abortion until Sonic the Hedgehog weighs in. Who's with me?
LauncherWP You seriously call yourselves journalists?
LauncherWP So do horse jockeys. It’s a conspiracy I tell ya!!!

LauncherWP As they should…. Why would they open themselves to criticism from the peanut gallery, that would be you WAPO.
LauncherWP Must be a really slow news day.
LauncherWP First Johnny Depp and now the gaming industry? You guys are fishing for hate clicks to stay relevant, right?
LauncherWP Are there really people who care what the video games industry's opinion is on Roe v. Wade?
LauncherWP Good.
LauncherWP Stop instigating. If you are miserable, why do you want everyone else to share this with you?
LauncherWP
LauncherWP Just when you think the bar can get no lower, at least the comments were stellar.
LauncherWP
LauncherWP They need a new generation of young children to play their games.
LauncherWP Now do every other industry in the nation. What a ridiculous article to single out one industry.
LauncherWP “If you’re a man stfu about abortion!!” “ZOMG why isn’t this industry throughly populated by men, silent on abortion!?” Same people
LauncherWP You know who is also staying conspicuously silent? Bowling alley employees. Do a story on that! Do it! There are entirely too many niche demographics nobody gives a fuck about staying conspicuously silent on Roe v. Wade. Why is WaPo so silent regarding them? Complicity?
LauncherWP This looks like an Onion headline.
LauncherWP What?
LauncherWP Stop looking to start problems. you guys are such instigators, it's terrible.
