Activision Blizzard announced sanctions for Russia
That’s not all, as the company announced measures against Russia for starting the armed attack. One of the most important is the suspension of “new sales” of games, which also include intra-title transactions on Russian territory. Like Apple and other companies, Activision Blizzard will be doubling employee donations to organizations that support the Ukrainian region. At the time of publishing the release, $300,000 USD had already been raised and more charities are expected to be added, apart from the increase in the duplication limit, from $1,000 USD to $10,000 USD, which means that each employee will be able to donate up to $10,000 USD and Activision Blizzard will take another $10,000 USD out of pocket. As part of the humanitarian aid that it will offer, Activision Blizzard reported that it is doing everything possible through its support programs for employees and human resources leaders to help its employees and their families who are being affected by this conflict. The company also recognized the contributions being made by its colleagues in Poland, where volunteers have helped Ukrainian refugees. “We stand with the people of Ukraine and will provide updates on any actions we take as this crisis continues to unfold,” the executive said in the letter.
