Activision Blizzard "has ousted 20 employees and disciplined 20 more as part of an internal investigation into allegations of sex harassment and discrimination." The developer also is "adding 19 employees to its ethics and compliance team," according to a letter Exec VP Frances Townsend "sent to employees Wednesday." Activision Blizzard is "pointing to the 20 employee 'exits' -- as well as the departure of two executives in August -- as evidence that it’s cleaning up its act." The fired employees "included several game developers and some supervisors." None "were from senior management or the company’s board." Most of the misconduct "took place at off-site events" (N.Y. POST, 10/20).
