Activision Blizz, and its CEO Robert Kotick have donated TONS to Republican parties.
It’s quite shameful, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, State Republican orgs.
Really makes me reconsider all that fake BS they peddle about equality.
This really put a damper on my day, I generally really like Blizzard as a company, but this makes a lot of the stuff they profess to believe in seem like a bold faced lie.
Jason Schreier posted about this today, and you can see a list of Robert Koticks political donations on opensecrets.org.

In general bigger companies do side with the Republicans because of what they get for free. I wouldn’t lose sleep about it.

Ironic that they would donate to Mitch McConnell, who is against virtually everything Blizzard technically stands for.

Wow, this is great news. I’m happy I resubbed.
If you’re that triggered by it, vote with your wallet and unsub. Otherwise, get over it.

I literally don’t care what the company does, I only care that they deliver a quality product.

I would say that while the head of ACTIVSION(Blizzard is more of a subsidiary so it not it can do much) may lean republican many others, especially in the Blizzard side of things have been staunch Democrats. Hell, just a quick check of say Golden/Danuser or quite othet Blizzard employees will tell you that.
Reconsider? More like, “wait for the headlines to tell me what to think”
Generically labeling an entire party… Treat people (or companies) as individuals and their own actions.

Who cares?! I play the game - they can do what they want with my money. The day I don’t like the game I will unsub. Pretty simple concept. If you don’t like the company leave - vote with your wallet. Other wise this post has no value.

Also, blizzard activiision didn’t donate to anyone.
It was a personal donation
