Warzone players plan boycott following Activision Blizzard lawsuit ActivisionA number of Warzone players are planning a mass boycott of the game after it was revealed that California is taking legal action against Activision Blizzard, in a show of solidarity with the company\u2019s mistreated employees. The gaming giants, who have published some of the world\u2019s biggest titles with Call of Duty, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, and more in their inventory, are facing serious criticism from the wider community. With the company being described as having a \u201cpervasive frat boy culture\u201d in the lawsuit from the State of California, many workers, fans, and partners of the company have taken a stand against the treatment of some, mainly female, employees. On top of that, a number of players have vowed to stop playing Activision Blizzard games or take a break from them, and it looks like Warzone players might be planning to do the same en masse. We\u2019ve already seen former employees give scathing insights into their time with the company, as well as CEO Bobby Kotick admitting that their response to the backlash was \u201ctone-deaf\u201d, but this could really hit them where it hurts. A Reddit post from Jaszs has called for players to \u201creally consider not buying anything from the shop (battle pass included),\u201d saying that \u201dActivision Blizzard must pay for what they\u2019ve done.\u201d The post itself has received over 1000 upvotes, with multiple awards from fellow Warzone players in agreement with the idea of boycotting the store. \u201cBased on what\u2019s going on, I really think those guys don\u2019t deserve anything from us,\u201d Jaszs explained. \u201cYou can even keep playing the game if you want, just don\u2019t spend any money in their store.\u201d Others agreed and expressed their support. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m not spending a dime,\u201d said one fan. \u201cI\u2019m done with them bro. Every day there is worse news,\u201d added another. With loads of comments clearly in agreement with the sentiment, it\u2019ll be interesting to see whether there\u2019s any noticeable difference in Warzone\u2019s microtransaction figures going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
