'Male employees proudly come into work hungover, play video games for long periods of time while delegating their responsibilities to female employees, engage in banter about their sexual encounters, talk openly about female bodies, and joke about rape.'

DFEH said Activision Blizzard’s “frat boy culture” was a “breeding ground for harassment and discrimination against women,” and claims that culture is still thriving right now.

Honestly, I could go on all day about the awful things the men at this company are accused of doing, but sadly, it’s probably not even necessary because so many women in so many different fields have experienced similar mistreatment and know exactly what it’s like.

Former employees took to Twitter to chime in on the lawsuit and praise those who spoke out — and to express their hopes that a long overdue change could be coming to the video game industry. Fans, too, expressed shock and outrage.I can tell you that I knew what was going to be in this report before I read it because during my time there – for only a YEAR – I witnessed ALL OF THESE THINGS.
