Is it something they need to be worried about? I mean Activision Blizzard has been shit all over the years, and kids still buy their games. On the other hand hiring a firm is not a proof of wrongdoing for the ongoing trial.

> kids still buy their games
Any source on that? I always imagined the current Blizzard customer demographics in the 20-40 years old range. Kids definitely don't play WoW, Diablo or StarCraft/Warcraft. Not sure about Overwatch but I'd guess kids prefer Fortnite. So perhaps Hearthstone? You kinda need a credit card to enjoy the game tho.
But you have a point, people still buy their games, expansions, loot boxes, skins, monthly subsriptions and so on.

I don't like Microsoft, but i enjoyed playing elders scrolls, had a char of 300+ lvl, but when Microsoft bought zenimax i just requested to delete my account and licenses/dlc, a friend told me it was not worth giving up entertainment for ideas, nothing can change etc
I refer as kids for those who in general aren't able to sacrifice anything in order to be empathetic to others or true to their ideas

Blizzard might not be targeted at the younger demographic, but teenagers still play CoD, which is made by Activision. ActiBlizz also owns King, which makes games like Candy Crush, which kids also play.
