Activision scandal: After PlayStation and Xbox, Nintendo also falls a verdict
The hustle and bustle around Activision Blizzard and his lead days are not leaving. After PlayStation and Xbox have positioned themselves against the company, Nintendo is now being followed. The scandal should also draw consequences.
Nintendo manifests itself to the Activision situation
In response to the sexism scandal at Activision Blizzard, the President of Nintendo of America is now reported. According to the latest reports, it was not only increasingly became the treatment of female employees in the Group, but also to sexual harassment and coercion, from which Activision boss Bobby Kick should have known.

Doug Bowler has therefore sent a mail last week to all Nintendo employees, in which he addresses the current situation:
Just like you, I also follow the latest developments about Activision Blizzard and the ongoing reports of sexual harassment, and the Toxic circumstances in the company. I feel these reports as shattering and disturbing, they go against my values as well as against Nintendo's beliefs, values and guidelines.
Thus, the US President of Nintendo clearly arises against the events at Activision Blizzard. In the further course of the mail it means that Nintendo was in contact with Activision, had taken measures and consider further. What exactly that is, is unclear so far. Presumably similar consequences are drawn as PlayStation. (Source: Fan byte)
What my PlayStation and Xbox do?
PlayStation Jim Ryan has also turned directly to Activision and apparently disappointed. In a company-internal mail, it means that Activision will not meet statements of the situation. Shortly afterwards Call of Duty: Vanguard disappeared from the presented tab on the PlayStation home page.

Even Xbox boss Phil Spencer clearly opposes Activision Blizzard. In a mail to his employees, he refers position and means that such behavior does not have space in the game industry. He also promises that the situation will have consequences for Activision Blizzard. (Source: Kodak)
What companies plan exactly to replace Activision Blizzard is still unclear. However, the corporations would apparently want to put all a sign against sexual assaults and women's tiny behavior.
