Sacred Symbols+, Episode 107: Studying the Accusations Against Activision-Blizzard (Patreon)

For several years now, the games industry has been going through a tectonic shift -- in parallel with industries all around the world -- attempting to right the wrongs of archaic and sometimes sexist and discriminatory corporate cultures. In gaming, most of this attention has rightly been foisted upon the likes of Ubisoft and even long-time Sony partner Quantic Dream, but it's Activision-Blizzard that's under the newest (and perhaps severest) scrutiny. This is well above our paygrade to discuss in any meaningful way on the normal show, which is why we reserved an hour-long chat on + all about what's happening with California's myriad complaints against The House of Call of Duty. And who better to walk us all through it than Last Stand Media's newest (and so far only!) 'contributor,' lawyer Rick Hoeg.
