Bad news for Activision from The Game Awards!
Activision Blizzard is now paying the bill for the raid on its employees with The Game Awards. Accordingly, Activision was subject to an embargo.
The waters are not calming on the Activision Blizzard front. The giant gaming company has come under the spotlight in recent weeks over allegations of mobbing and sexual harassment of its employees. The fact that these allegations have been revealed will give Activision Blizzard a hard time at The Game Awards.
The Game Awards close doors for Activision Blizzard?
The Game Awards,where the best game awards of the year will be awarded, will be held on December 9th. However, the highly anticipated event of the year, The Game Awards,closed the promotional door for Activision Blizzard. As you know, The Game Awards do more than reward the best games of the year. Accordingly, the award ceremony features important promotions related to new games.
However, The Game Awards will not allow Activision Blizzardto promote. The company will currently take part in the award ceremony as part of the best awards of the year.
The Game Awards promotions are very important for the big gaming companies. Although E3 is the peak for game promotions, surprise games also appear at The Game Awards. The gaming company is already working on Diablo 4. However, Activision Bilizzard may not be able to give players the expected news as it will not have the opportunity to promote a new game at The Game Awards ceremony.
Activision Blizzard’s Cal Of Duty: Warzone is currently nominated for “Best ESports game” and “Best Ongoing Game”. The list of Game Awards 2021 nominees is as follows:
