Activision Blizzard ditches investor lawsuit over lack of evidence

Activision Blizzard shed another lawsuit today. A U.S. District Court judge has dismissed the investor lawsuit against the company. This comes less than a month after the publisher settled a sexual harassment lawsuit for $18 million.

A group of Activision Blizzard investors filed the lawsuit last year. The plaintiffs claimed that the company’s leadership failed to disclose problems within the publisher and misled investors as to their severity. These problems include the rampant harassment and discrimination alleged by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing lawsuit. They also alleged that the company had failed to report the ongoing DFEH investigation.
