CNN
Pressure on Activision Blizzard is mounting as more than 2,000 current and former employees signed a petition slamming what they see as the video game company's "abhorrent and insulting" response to a California lawsuit.
The petition, which was circulated Monday and seen by CNN Business, criticized the company's statements following a lawsuit filed last week by California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleged that multiple female employees were subjected to gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and unequal pay. Activision Blizzard, the publisher of hugely popular games such as "Call of Duty" and "World of Warcraft," is headquartered in Santa Monica, California, and has approximately 9,500 employees, according to the state's filing.
