Other All Big Three Companies Speak Out Against Blizzard

It has not been a good time for Blizzard, and now they have the attention of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft and not in a good way. This is what the presidents for each said for ongoing Blizzard/Activision issues.

PlayStation’s Jim Ryan:

The email—which Ryan likely wrote knowing it would be immediately leaked to press—has PlayStation’s chief expressing his severe disappointment in Activision’s response to yesterday’s Wall Street Journal revelations. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reports he has seen the email, quoting Ryan as saying he believes Activision “has not done enough to address a deep-seated culture of discrimination and harassment.”

Apparently, PlayStation “outreached to Activision immediately after the article was published to express our deep concern,” Ryan writes, “and to ask them how they plan to address the claims made in the article.” He continues, “We do not believe their statements of response properly address the situation.”

Nintendo's Doug Bowser:

Along with all of you, I’ve been following the latest developments with Activision Blizzard and the ongoing reports of sexual harassment and toxicity at the company. I find these accounts distressing and disturbing, They run counter to my values as well as Nintendo’s beliefs, values and policies.

Xbox's Phil Spencer:

“This type of behavior has no place in our industry,” Spencer wrote in the email, according to Bloomberg, saying he was “disturbed and deeply troubled” by the events and actions brought to light in a bombshell report by The Wall Street Journal earlier this week.

All three are looking into the issue and talking to them, but no news has come to light as to what they are doing.
