Employees at Blizzard, maker of ‘World of Warcraft’ and ‘Overwatch,’ were reportedly paid so little they were forced to skip meals to pay rent while the CEO made $40 million
Activision CEO Bobby Kotick. Activision is the parent company of Blizzard Entertainment.
- The massive video game publisher behind blockbuster franchises like “Call of Duty” and “World of Warcraft” is facing major internal pushback after employees circulated a salary document that exposed major pay disparities.
- Some employees at Blizzard Entertainment, which is owned by Activision, said they used free coffee as an appetite suppressant and skipped meals so they could pay rent, according to a new Bloomberg report.
- Activision CEO Bobby Kotick took home around $40 million last year.
Free market capitalism is what makes America the prosperous society it is. Of course, there is nothing wrong with making money at a chosen profession, but when the ones that do most of the work in the company do NOT get most of the financial benefits, that’s unethical! Bobby Kotick should be fired and Blizzard should end its union with Activision so the workers can be paid what they are worth.
I quit World of Warcraft, and I now only play Overwatch and no other Blizzard games. And this news is not encouraging me to become more loyal to the company and its games!
