Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has stated the company has never had a "systemic issue with harassment" in a new interview with Variety.

His comments are in response to a lawsuit against the company by the State of California in 2021, claiming it had a "frat boy" culture. In the years since, a number of sexual harassment lawsuits have been filed and Kotick himself has been accused of turning a blind eye.
