From LauncherWP: As Roe v. Wade repeal looms, video game industry stays mostly silent
Inside the company, the reaction has been mostly positive. “Super awesome that we are leading the way in the industry space with a strong stance,” said one current Bungie employee who, like others who spoke with The Post, did so on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the subject publicly. “It’s weird to me that more people aren’t coming out and standing up for basic human rights.
Activision Blizzard, a prominent game developer facing multiple lawsuits and investigations over its corporate culture and CEO Bobby Kotick, provided a brief statement on abortion rights late Tuesday evening. “We are committed to an inclusive environment that is supportive of all of our employees,” said Rich George, a spokesperson for Activision Blizzard.
Robert Anderberg, CEO and co-founder of indie game studio ControlZee said, said: “Our position on abortion rights in [the] U.S. is that we support a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion for any reason.” The Mother’s Day strike runs from May 8 through May 15 and asks participants to stop working, shopping and eating out as a way to protest the possibility that Roe v. Wade could be overturned.“We’re still scrambling for organization right now,” said Javiera Cordero, an indie developer who is participating in the Mother’s Day strike and compiling resources for best organizing practices.
