Diablo 4 director fired as Blizzard scandal continues

Thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring our channel http://expressvpn.com/inside The Activision Blizzard lawsuit saga continues as new reports indicate that lead developers working on Diablo IV, WoW, and Overwatch 2 have been let go, some titles are being delayed, and previously confirmed features are being cut. To make matters worse shareholders have sued Activision Blizzard for overwhelming negligence at best and intentionally providing misleading information when it comes to the working conditions at the company. Meanwhile another shareholder group has called out Activision Blizzard’s response to the state of California's lawsuit as “inadequate.” Specifically, Bobby Kotick was mentioned and there’s been a number of suggestions from the group including removing executive level bonuses. It really is bad news for everyone involved at this point as the fallout over Blizzard’s highly toxic working conditions continues to spiral into a series of consequences. In other news; the new Call of Duty game CoD: Vanguard has leaked via an update to Call of Duty: Warzone, it looks like there are three Grand Theft Auto remasters in the works (including GTAIII, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas), there’s a new South Park game in the works, and Google considered buying Epic to make their legal complaints just go away.
