Hey Activision.... You Can't Hide Forever From The HeatCall of Duty: Vanguard was officially announced yesterday, the first major Activision Blizzard reveal since the corporation came under public scrutiny for its abhorrent treatment of female employees. A minor detail in the reveal video has some speculating that Activision is keen to avoid reminding everyone it's involved in the game's development.Activision Blizzard is still embroiled in controversy following a lawsuit filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing that accused the massive corporation of fostering an environment of harassment and abuse targeted mainly at female employees for years. Since then, several notable figures have departed the company, including Blizzard president J. Allen Brack, Blizzard head of human relations Jesse Meschuk, and Diablo 4 lead designer Jesse McCree.The heat that Activision is under will not be forgotten so there is no way that removing their name from certain things will make people forget. You can never hide from the truth.Support the show (https://bit.ly/2XdAlJC)

Halo Infinite's first Tech Preview has come and gone, and with it came a ton of buzz within and around the gaming community. While more previews are to come ahead of the game's Fall 2021 launch, was this first flight exactly what Infinite needed?

New World Delayed...Again...but not for long [Link] Last year it was announced New World would be delayed until Spring of 2021 then delayed again until August 31st. The new date is set for September 28th The delay by the developers is due to “take a few extra weeks to smash bugs, improve stability, and polish the game.” The beta has had over a million adventures and has had over 16 million hours played during beta Activision Blizzard Lawsuit [Link] Gamer or not, I'm sure you've heard of Activision Blizzard. Well, as I'm sure you've also heard recently; They are being eviscerated by a recent scandal consisting of accusations of discrimination and harassment! J. Allen Brack, president of the company's Blizzard Entertainment studio, has already resigned due to a lawsuit alleging a "frat boy" work culture where multiple female employees were subjected to gender discrimination, sexual harassment, unequal pay, and that "the company's executives and human resources personnel knew of the harassment and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the unlawful conduct, and instead retaliated against women who complained." Many current and former employees started sharing their experiences online, as soon as the lawsuit was official An indirect, but not so surprising, side effect of this scandal is many players cancelling their game-based subscriptions and refraining from purchasing future titles Shareholders sue Activision Blizzard [Link] Shareholders are arguing that they have been "economically damaged" by company execs withholding information and allegations that have recently come to light The complaint specifically names a few executives, and others, that were "aware of, or recklessly disregarding, the fact that the ‘false and misleading statements' were being issued concerning the Company" This lawsuit says Activision Blizzard failed to tell shareholders that it was under investigation by the California DFEH or that it was "at greater risk of regulatory and legal scrutiny and enforcement" based on undisclosed facts. These recent allegations have cause the stock price of AB to fall to $79.83 based on Tuesday's closing price Links https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/03/tech/activision-blizzard-employee-backlash-kotick/index.html https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/08/shareholders-sue-activision-blizzard-for-withholding-harassment-info/ https://www.mmorpg.com/news/new-world-is-delayed-again-now-launching-september-28th-2000122716 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saved-state-heros/support

Allen Brack, has left his post at the company following the lawsuit from the State of California, and a very cringey video from a World of Warcraft Q&A panel from 2010 that's been making the rounds on the Internet (which can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi5dQzZp3f0&t=264s). Jen Oneal and Mike Ybarra will take over as "co-leads."

California's Department of Fair Housing and Employment has sued Activision Blizzard for willful, malicious, and intentional propagation of discrimination and harassment at the global video game publisher. As the company seeks to react to the news and control the messaging around it...they elect to take a number of different approaches. Do they feel your pain? Is everything fine? Are they the victims of a witch hunt? And even if any or all of those things were true, is their messaging convincing to their own people? Activision had a lot to talk about...in Virtual Legality.

Call of Duty has returned to the name Modern Warfare with a 2019 take on modern combat. With it comes a new story campaign, new game modes and co-op making for a vast departure from last year's Black Ops 4. This one is more grounded, has a solid story and feels like a return to the feeling that captured us from Modern Warfare 1 and 2. In the news this week, J. Allen Brack apologizes for Blizzard's actions last month, EA announces they're bringing their games to Steam starting with Star Wars and Playstation Vue is shutting down next January.Our discussion this week revolves around Blizzcon itself. We discuss the overall feeling of the conference and their overall better showcase this year than last year's disaster with Diablo Immortal. They unveiled Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, a new WOW expansion called Shadowlands and Hearthstone Battlegrounds. Was it enough to take away the press from their protests about their stance at last month's tournament? Special thanks to Crazzie Pro Gear.
