Activision Blizzard Settles Discrimination Case for $55 Million
The settlement, still pending court approval, will benefit women who worked for the company between 2015 and 2020, while a separate sexual harassment lawsuit continues.
- Activision Blizzard has agreed to a $55 million settlement to end a discrimination case it has been fighting since 2021.
- The settlement will be split among women who worked for the developer between October 2015 and December 2020, with an additional amount covering the California Civil Rights Department’s legal fees.
- Activision Blizzard is still facing a separate sexual harassment lawsuit brought by attorney Lisa Bloom, who has represented eight women in the case.
- The California State Department agreed to withdraw the claim of sexual harassment, which Activision Blizzard has consistently denied.
