I think what affected the stock price more than that is pushing out Overwatch and Diablo. And then I think people started to see that this year’s Call of Duty wasn’t performing as well. So I think certainly the [California Department of Fair Employment and Housing] filing and the Wall Street Journal article contributed to that, but stocks go up and down for a variety of reasons.
However, stock price comparisons to dates related to misconduct allegations seems to paint a different picture. July 27th, the day the first DFEH lawsuit was made public, September 20th, the day the SEC launched its own investigation into Activision Blizzard, and November 16th when the Wall Street Journal article detailing his own misbehavior was published show massive drops in stock prices, unrelated to game delays. Also, the price has seen a steady decline since July 27th, only rebounding to near pre-DFEH lawsuit levels after the Microsoft acquisition.
Many view this as an attempt by Kotick to save face and deflect blame, which obviously does not sit well with them. Fans and employees that have called for Kotick's ouster are crying foul that he's essentially blaming the developers for not being able to ship the two games out, rather than focusing on any of the circumstances as to why the games could not be launched on time.
Later in the interview, Kotick acknowledges the ongoing issues and his responsibility to rectify them. In part, the reprimand or removal of guilty individuals at Activision Blizzard that have already occurred shows that some work is being done, but a long list of demands by the ABK Alliance and Raven Software QA Testers still remain.
