As it has grown from a state investigation to a national one, i think that in long term it will have a big impact on Activision as a whole.
Not to mention that the Vanguard beta is a flop. They can’t even make up for it with non-Blizz games.

Isn’t SEC mainly for security fraud? What in the world is the scope of this scandal?

Basically they cover a wide variety of business practice checks including human resource management. Also don’t be surprised that if it reaches this level, the U.S. Department of Labor may become involved.

Basically the biggest focus could be the document shredding which includes everything that happened so far.

I would agree, though I would not be surprise if there was more dirt that has not been made to the public. I won’t even begin to speculate.
That being said, please keep the discussion civil everyone. I myself don’t object to these topics of discussion personally, but make sure that you treat each other with respect as you debate the facts.

i told u guys there was more than one lawsuit in the works lmao.
there are like 1-2 more in the pipeline for all the fake sham rigging they’ve put into their ladder, plus misrepresenting things as an esport when path2pro doesn’t really exist (or is rigged). their GaaS is basically fake.

It is. The fraud here is that actiblizz did not properly disclose the issue to it’s full extent to shareholders, which means they deliberately hid the risks of investing in them, and that is considered unlawfully deceptive.

So the company is dirty, and players want to support such toxic behavior reflected in workforce exploitation, harassment, with document shredding behind it, by actually buying their products (like Overwatch 2). What does that make us?
No! I do have a conscience, I will not buy Overwatch 2! This will be a proper feedback.

Ideally what true justice would be is to get everyone that supported this fired and forced to leave this company, but there is a lot of good at Blizzard, not buying their product ruins the lives of everyone good or bad at Blizzard. We need to support those raising their voices at Blizzard and get rid of the bad apples exclusively, not ruin the lives of everyone indiscriminately.
