| Sonys Jim Ryan hat sich auch gemeldet... |  |
Sony’s PlayStation Chief Jim Ryan admonished Activision Blizzard Wednesday for an inadequate response to allegations that Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kotick was aware of sexual misconduct and harassment claims at the game publisher for years and that he had mistreated women.
In an email to employees reviewed by Bloomberg, Ryan linked to the Wall Street Journal’s Tuesday report. He wrote that he and his leadership were “disheartened and frankly stunned to read” that Activision “has not done enough to address a deep-seated culture of discrimination and harassment.”
“We outreached to Activision immediately after the article was published to express our deep concern and to ask how they plan to address the claims made in the article,” he wrote. “We do not believe their statements of response properly address the situation.” (...)
Ryan emphasized to his staff that Sony Interactive Entertainment “is committed to ensuring our community of developers and gamers feel safe and respected, and providing a secure work environment for every employee.” (...)
A small group of Activision Blizzard shareholders, accounting for less than 1% of the outstanding stock, said it called for Kotick’s resignation on Wednesday in a letter to the company’s board.

Der noch größere Skandal ist eigentlich die jetzige Reaktion des Aufsichtsrates, die "nicht genug Beweise" für ein Fehlverhalten sieht und daher keine Konsequenzen ziehen will. So kann man es natürlich gleich sein lassen... :/
