A group of roughly 300 employees across Activision Blizzard are spearheading the initiative, asking for several internal changes such as an end to mandatory arbitration clauses in all employee contracts.
"Arbitration clauses protect abusers and limit the ability of victims to seek restitution," their statement reads.
Staff are asking Activision Blizzard to adopt new recruiting, hiring and promotion policies to improve representation across all employee levels. They are also asking for transparency around compensation and promotions, and an external audit of Activision Blizzard’s company’s reporting structure, HR department and executive team.
Every form of internal communication has been overtaken with talk of the lawsuit, according to two sources at the company who spoke to Axios anonymously.
One said that some Blizzard leaders have been vocal about supporting employees, but that top executives are still directly in "PR mode, crisis management, trying not to commit directly to things."

I really had a lot of time on my hands back in august of 2019 didn't I
Played it for the first time earlier this year. I had a good time with it. Really enjoyed the DLC probably more than the main game. Rapture is just hard to beat. The atmosphere of the place is unreal.
Look at it as future proofing. I think remakes and remasters, if done right, are good for game preservation. And if you don't like the new version for whatever reason, you can always opt to go back to the older one (assuming all versions remain available, which ideally should).
I also like that this thread started out with people complaining for whatever reasons and more than a decade later they picked up right where they left of 
If they stick to the original design and intentions, I can't see why this can't be good.

"According to a now-archived article by Dexerto (via Eurogamer), Blizzard planned to announce a new deathmatch map Malevento in a surprise PTR update yesterday. Described as one of the most vibrant maps in the game, the small Italian town would harbour a secret Talon base, and was set to arrive in the game proper on August 17."
Whatever deal they had with IGN, it's off now.
I feel bad for the people on our forums that work there. You try to do your best, act professionally and then it all goes down the drain because some individuals can't not shit where they eat. Same thing happened with Ubisoft when it made the headlines last year. It's good that people are talking about it. I just hope there's gonna be an improvement.

"Steam Deck reservations moved back to Q2 and Q3 2022.
An overwhelming number of orders caused problems for Valve when it opened pre-orders for the newly-announced Steam Deck on Friday. Many users struggled to get through the reservation process, either encountering error messages about the transaction itself, that they had attempted too many purchases in the last few hours, or that their account was "too new" to make the reservation.
The first tier of pre-orders is expected to ship in December, arriving Q1 2022. However, reservations for the 256GB model have been pushed back to Q2, and orders for the 512GB model are expected in Q3.
Despite the delay in shipping and account specification, Steam Deck pre-orders are already appearing in eBay listings at inflated prices, some as high as £1,200."
