Of course, that period saw one of Microsoft’s most-hyped games, Halo Infinite, hit the service on Day 1, so a 73 growth rate wasn’t pie-in-the-sky stuff....

Activision And Bobby Kotick Under Increased Pressure As Regulators Step Up Investigation

According to a new report in the Wall Street Journal, California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing has subpoenaed both the publisher’s board of directors and Los Angeles-area police departments for more information related to the company’s handling of workplace issues. Apparently, the DFEH is specifically looking for records on Acti-Blizz CEO Bobby Kotick with their police subpoenas. The Federal Securities and Exchange Commission has also subpoenaed Activision Blizzard. For their part, Activision Blizzard says the police subpoenas have no “legitimate purpose” and imply they’re simply part of DFEH’s dispute with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which controversially agreed to a settlement with Acti-Blizz… As mentioned, this was all set into the motion when the Department of Fair Employment and Housing filed suit against Activision Blizzard, alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at the Call of Duty publisher....
