>The investigation concerns whether Activision and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

>On January 11, 2019, the Company disclosed that it would be separating from its design and development partner Bungie, Inc. ("Bungie") and that Bungie will assume full publishing rights and responsibilities for the Destiny franchise. Bungie had developed the Destiny franchise with Activision as publisher. In the first five days of the Destiny franchise's release, it sold $325M at retail. Following this announcement, Activision's stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on January 11, 2019.

>The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Paris, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 80 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members.

So, let's take stock of what's happened in the last year or so.

>EA pisses off multiple countries due to their loot box gambling fiasco, gets investigated with threats of changing the statutes to outlaw loot boxes, and absolutely ruins loot boxes for everybody

>Bethesda under the gun for multiple possible class-action lawsuits, almost exclusively related to Fallout 56

>Valve facing competition in the digital distribution market between Epic and Discord, and their last card game release was a complete flop

>Battlefield Vagina is DOA

>Shadow of the Tomb Raider is DOA

>Candy-ass Bitchford revealed to be an embezzling pedo

Which leads to today:

>Activision fucked over their investors with their mishandling of Destiny

That reminds me, does anybody remember this shit?

https://www.grayandwhitelaw.com/blog/federal-court-approves-class-action-lawsuit-against-electronic-arts-inc.cfm

>A federal judge approved and certified a national class action lawsuit against Electronic Arts ("EA"), a video game maker, based on claims alleging that video game consumers overpaid for popular sports games, for example Madden NFL. According to the lawsuit, the defendant company, EA, violated antitrust and consumer protection laws by holding exclusive license agreements with National Football League (NFL), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and Arena Football League. The class action protects consumers who purchased NFL, NCAA or Arena Football League branded video games produced and released by Electronic Arts, Inc. (EA) after January 1, 2005.

>According to representatives for plaintiffs, consumers now have a legal standing to demand that EA refund consumers millions of dollars it made from Madden NFL and other sports titles through what was alleged to be an illegal price-gouging scheme.

Oh, wait, that one was settled out of court.

http://archive.fo/Eohiz

>To recap, in July, Electronic Arts settled a suit brought against its notorious exclusive license to make NFL video games, alleging price-fixing, illegal monopoly, and a bathtub full of other complaints. Rather than continue to litigate it, EA negotiated a $27 million pool to distribute to the thousands of customers who bought Madden, and NCAA Football and the fourteen or so people who actually bought Arena Football. (Note: EA admitted to no wrongdoing in the settlement, and its exclusive deal with the NFL still survives.)

Then, there was the 2014 suit from investors against EA/DICE after the backlash from the extremely buggy Battlefield 4 release. The judge sided with EA on that one and dismissed the case:

http://archive.fo/464EF

http://archive.fo/qgjS6

>A class action lawsuit levied against Electronic Arts for allegedly misleading investors over the performance of Battlefield 4 was dismissed this week, with U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California Judge Susan Illston labeling the publisher's promises as pre-release "puffery," rather than intentionally misleading hype.

At some point, you'd have to imagine that people would just get the fucking idea that a bunch of these publisher companies are nothing but greedy faggot hacks who wouldn't know video games from their assholes if they didn't use them on a regular basis.

Not trying to be contrarian here but you got to consider the context. This is Pomerantz doing what they do best: build up a case with basically flimsy evidence to push for an investigation, which will then be used to pressure Activision into giving them shekels if they want to shut it down. If Activision refuses to negotiate as in settling out of court then they will instigate more legal shitstorms using the extra evidence uncovered from the investigations. This is just a bunch of kikes taking another bunch of kikes to the cleaners. It's even possible that Pomerantz is cooperating with someone within Activision doing this shit for kickbacks. Doesn't mean Activision doesn't deserve it, but you have to take who's doing the BTFOing into perspective.

With all this money they are charging for a battle royale aren't they just driving their audience to play the F2P Fortnite:BR instead? Or is Activision that confident that the CoD audience will truly stay with and only play CoD?

Anon, the $500m was the total amount of cash for the franchise, not one game.

Not as easy as one might think, anon. Suicide normally springs from depression, and depression is like living in a thick, draining fog that saps your energy. And how many mentally stable, well-adjusted gay men do you know? Most are histrionic drama queens.

>>15994353

Activision's investors are apparently really mad that Overwatch doesn't get Fortnite's absurd numbers and, maybe because they're gormless investors, think that it's easy to make the 'flavor of the decade' game and that it isn't just a combination a luck and being in the right place at the right time.

The Q4 earnings call in Feb could be really spicy.

>500 million dollarydoos on a single game and its marketing.

500 for the 10 year deal and 3(4?) games, has been explained plenty of times back then already. also marketing probably was on top of that.

>>15994349

probably exaggerated, but systematic workplace discrimination and harassment can have such an effect (one of the reasons that shit is illegal). office politics are highschool canteen tier half the time already, now imagine it being protected by "diversity" and "right sight of history". did you miss the whole danmore case?

bigger problem is that shit has become it's own meme since no one takes it seriously anymore with every purplehaired tranny crying wolf, which means the legit cases get drowned out.

>>15994431

doesn't say, so probably not. but seems it was a sexism/racial thing cause apparently all male mexicans are rape monsters and treated as such. dunno why he didn't sue, keeping logs of shit like that makes it a clear-cut case that can settle you for life.

The calibre of that misfire was truly something to behold, they saw a round hole, made the squarest peg they could and crammed it in without lube. This is why marketing people are trash, it's not just their repulsive hustles that grate, it's the fact they end up tainting the future by pandering to the kind of money dropping kid/retard who's constantly pawing at a touchscreen. I don't necessarily begrudge giving those subnormals their retard tier geams either but their production must be kept wholly separate from actual IPs that people who actually give a shit work on.

Phone games cannot replace PC gaming, the loss of nuance, intelligence and accuracy is insurmountable. It's just so fucking lazy too, how did it ever come to this? Used to be you expected a marked improvement in a sequel, or at least some desirable innovation that expanded on the original, not a complete abandonment of the playerbase and a nonplussed expression 'wuh?' when the shovelware pile of shit dropped in place of what should have been an actual game is resoundingly derided.

WHenever I see a fuckup so total, part of me wonders if it wasn't intentional sabotage by someone. Was it Activision, to weaken Blizzard and further-cement ATVI's control? A vengeful Blizzard employee that had enough sway to lie and convince people this was a good idea?

Or maybe it's just Blizz being so comically out of touch taht they get fucking BOOED at their own event that's supposed to cater to their diehard fans.

Because the market execs think that the hardcore PC/console players must largely overlap with mobile when they fucking don't and are mostly played by casuals. Everyone may own phones but it doesn't mean they want to play an inferior version/P2W of an existing series on it.

Look at EA and the F2P mobile Dungeon Keeper, why would you want that when the PC version still exists and won't charge you a fortune to progress?

I'm reminded of the story of someone introducing Farmville players to Harvest Moon and having them fall in love with it while also finding out they have never heard about it before. It feels like F2P mobile/soical garbage is just trying to take advantage of casual mobile using idiots who don't know any better about their original one time purchase PC/console games counterparts that aren't trying to whale them for money to progress.

>so much stupidity of such a scale in a repeated fashion? It almost defies belief.

there's that steve jobs video that gets memed around talking how over time marketing people will get promoted over tech since they look like they do something more worthwhile and higher-ups think are the driving force behind the company's success, which means over time you have people that are literally too stupid to know which product is good or not, just how and that you have to sell it.

this is one side of a greater effect (which I can't find the name for atm, fuck), basically competent people get promoted up until they end up in a position they are not competent for - and then get stuck there since they aren't competent anymore and don't get rewarded with a promotion. no one voluntarily gets demoted (cause first of all, lesser pay). which means over time you end up with a lot of incompetent people (for their new responsibilities) in the wrong positions.

now on top of that you get the west coast PC culture that grows itself like a cancer. say you desperately want to hire women for PR or more retarded the law requires a quota, where do you put them? sure, you can put them with the grunts and workers, but that's mostly based on merit (why hire a coder that can't code? doesn't keep some companies from even doing that), but most companies stick them into less merit driven positions like HR and manager roles ("you don't need to know how to code, you just need to know how to manage the coders"). since most of those hires come with an agenda and are now in crucial roles who gets promoted and hired in the first place, over time you end up with more people hired with an agenda (and not necessary skills) and/or all your competent non-agenda workers driven away.

similar to how any right-leaning company will over time shift left.

TLDR lots of small cases of stupidity mixed in with legit malice (which to them is being on the right side of history, so no malice or stupidity at all) leading inevitably to a stupid company.
