Examining the WSJ Activision Exposé with Rick Hoeg | Sacred Symbols+ Episode 139
0On Episode 177 of Sacred Symbols, we promised a deep-dive into the Wall Street Journal's explosive accusations against Activision. This is that deep-dive. As usual in instances like these, I (Colin) grabbed Last Stand Media's trusted legal analyst Rick Hoeg to break everything down, piece by piece. The accusations against people like Black Ops Director Dan Bunting, long-time Sledgehammer producer Javier Panameno, and others are very serious. And the victimization of key employees, like Vicarious Visions' boss Jen Oneal, illustrate an overwhelmingly toxic culture. And of course, there's Bobby Kotick himself, the man who once saved Activision from destruction with a $500,000 buyout, only to become one of the richest C-suite executives in the entire world some three decades later. Perhaps no one's more central to this storm than he is. The House of Call of Duty is afire. Let's look into the flames.
