Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has flatly denied allegations and reports at the heart of the company's years-long battle with harassment and discrimination, insisting that the company never had a "systemic" problem to begin with and that such complaints were co-opted by labor movements looking to "destabilize the company."
"We’ve had every possible form of investigation done," Kotick told Variety in a lengthy interview. "And we did not have a systemic issue with harassment – ever. We didn’t have any of what were mischaracterizations reported in the media. But what we did have was a very aggressive labor movement working hard to try and destabilize the company."
