\u201cCall of Duty\u201d and other games, for $68.7 billion, in the biggest gaming industry deal on record. The Federal Trade Commission is conducting an antitrust review of the deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and a California anti-discrimination agency filed separate lawsuits last year accusing\u00a0Activision\u00a0of tolerating widespread bias against women, and the Securities and Exchange Commission is probing the company\u2019s disclosures about workplace misconduct.<\/p>\n<p>Activision\u00a0settled the EEOC case last month for $18 million. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing\u2019s lawsuit is pending.<\/p>\n<p>In a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in August, the shareholders said\u00a0Activision\u2019s failure to disclose the scale of workplace discrimination artificially inflated the value of the company\u2019s stock.\u00a0Activision\u00a0stock declined sharply last year in response to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> reports about the SEC probe and the company\u2019s alleged failure to address bias and sexual harassment.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
