Activision Blizzard: Nintendo also expresses criticism of working conditions

According to Xbox boss Phil Spencer and Sony boss Jim Ryan, Nintendo of America President Doug Bowler has become critical to the current processes around toxic working conditions and allegations of sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard. Together with you all, I have followed the latest developments in Activision Blizzard and the ongoing reports about sexual harassment and toxicity within the company, says an e-mail from Bowler. I find these reports shattering and disturbing. They contradict my values ​​as well as the beliefs, values ​​and guidelines of Nintendo. In addition, Nintendo representatives are in contact with Activision, have already taken action and would weigh further action. He also called on the Entertainment Software Association to take a harder attitude towards harassment: Every company in the industry must create an environment in which everyone is respected and treated equally and in which all understand the consequences if they do not do so.
