According to an internal email revealed on the Internet, the boss of Nintendo of America is also in the process of dissociating himself from the CEO of Activision-Blizzard, Bobby Kotick.
One less partner to support Activision Blizzard and its CEO Bobby Kotick. After Xbox and PlayStation, it is now Nintendo which is dissociating itself from the boss of the video game studio, whose name is mentioned in cases of harassment and toxic corporate culture.
The head of Nintendo of America, Doug bowser, reportedly sent an email to all members of his group recently to express his dissatisfaction with the situation.
Like all of you, I have been following the latest developments regarding Activision Blizzard and the ongoing reports of sexual harassment and toxicity within the company. I find these testimonies distressing and disturbing. They go against my values and against Nintendo’s beliefs, values and policies.
Every business in the sector must create an environment where everyone is respected and treated equally, and where everyone understands the consequences of breaking this rule.
Revealed by Fanbyte, this internal mail was not confirmed but according to the sources, Activision Blizzard was reportedly contacted directly by the company.
As a reminder, Bobby Kotick, supported by his board of directors, continues to explain that he wants an irreproachable corporate culture in his studio, without ever really speaking on the merits of the case and the accusations against him. He was rumored to have finally considered a resignation.
