The Blizzard fallout continues as the company’s employees continue to fight for better working conditions calling out Activision Blizzard on union-busting tactics and sharing even more distressing stories and testimonies about the harassment their co-workers have faced there.

A quick content warning for descriptions of sexual assault and harassment as well as a mention of suicide.

Things aren’t looking good as more and more stories come out from Blizzard employees. From hidden bathroom cameras to breastfeeding room creepers it seems like there is no end to the attributes and toxic work conditions workers at Blizzard put up with.

There was even a new story that came out from Bloomberg detailing a number of new accounts including an exec making a joke in poor taste about sleeping with assistants.

It’s a lot. In other news, Ubisoft employees are also trying to fight the good fight against executive or leadership level employees who allegedly have not only gotten away with harassment or abuse but have even been given promotions after the fact.

On the lighter side of things, it looks like it might get easier to pick up a PS5. Sony has confirmed that the semiconductor shortage is no longer an issue for them when it comes to meeting their sales targets for the PS5 this fiscal year.

In addition, it looks like PSVR2 is shaping up to be pretty cool. A number of details were shared at a developer conference and they were picked up by the press. Fancy new controllers on cable without a pass-through and maybe even VR options for all the biggest Sony exclusives.

Lastly, Amazon’s MMO New Worlds was delayed until September 28th. Brian conquers his fear and returns to Death’s Door for a second 5-Second Review of the game. The Coming Soon section comes packing some heat this week with Glitchpunk and Hades on consoles.
