Activision Blizzard is one of the most famous video game companies in the world.

Its biggest games are Call of Duty and World of Warcraft.

It's been making classics since the 90s.

Games like Crash Bandicoot, Guitar Hero, and even smartphone games like Candy Crush.

In the last few months, the company has gotten attention for something other than its video games.

It claimed the company had maintained a quote,

Fratboy culture, and that it had ignored allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination.

Since then, two other regulatory investigations have come to light.

Our colleague, Kirsten Grind and a group of reporters at the Wall Street Journal

We spent months talking to people familiar with Activision, former employees.

We looked at a lot of internal company documents to see what's been going on there.

This group of reporters has found more alleged incidents, the day back years, and the reports keep building.

Since the July lawsuit, another thing that we've uncovered is that Activision has seen more than 500 additional internal documents.

The company says it's making changes and trying to stay more informed about workplace issues,

and that it's committed to having the most welcoming and inclusive workplace in the industry.

But for Kirsten and her colleagues, these allegations raised more questions about the man who's been running Activision for decades.

CEO Bobby Codic.

He's actually one of the highest paid CEOs across the country.

He had a pay package of $154 million in 2020.

And we just thought we should find out more about what he knew about all of this and how he's handled it.
