Bringing a potential end to a years-long saga, Activision Blizzard has agreed to a nearly $55 million settlement to end a discrimination case it has been fighting since 2021, the publisher confirmed to Inverse. The California Civil Rights Department announced last Friday it would settle the lawsuit alleging that Activision Blizzard withheld opportunities from women while fostering a culture of harassment that went unchallenged by leaders at the company. The settlement still needs to be approved by the court.
