Activision Blizzard has been served yet another lawsuit over harassment in the company. The unnamed plaintiff is still an employee of the game developer. She has sued the company in a Los Angeles court, claiming it allegedly enabled sexual harassment and discrimination. According to the complaint, the company retaliated against her when she shared her experiences at a December 2021 press conference.
