Activision Blizzard Pledges Support for Ukraine and Suspends Sales of Games in Russia

Last updated March 5, 2022 | Follow us on Pinterest

The US and Russia’s diplomatic relations has been tense for years, leading to the recent sanctions being imposed on Russia by the United States. Activision Blizzard is one of many companies that have suffered as a result, with games sales in Russia dropping off significantly since tensions began.

Activision Blizzard has pledged support for Ukraine and suspended sales of games in Russia. This is due to the Russian government’s recent actions against Ukrainian territory. Read more in detail here: blizzard activision.

Daniel Alegre, COO

Team –

We’ve been following the news from Ukraine and the escalating humanitarian catastrophe there for the last week. Our company’s commitment is to support individuals who have been affected by this horrific crime in every manner imaginable.

Activision Blizzard has announced that new sales of and of our games will be suspended in Russia while the crisis continues. We’ll keep looking for methods to help the Ukrainian people. I want to reassure you that our leadership team’s main focus is the safety of our personnel. We are doing all we can to help workers and their families who have been touched directly by this tragedy. Please don’t hesitate to contact your manager or local HR leaders if you or a coworker need assistance. I’d also want to remind you that our Employee Assistance Program is accessible to anybody who needs emotional help at this time.

I’d want to take a minute to appreciate our employees’ outstanding efforts to assist the Ukrainian people. Employee contributions will be matched 2:1 to charities offering emergency aid in the area by the corporation. In all, we have raised nearly $300,000 for this cause. We expect to expand the list of organizations eligible for consideration next week, as well as increase the employer matching cap from $1,000 to $10,000.

I’d also want to recognize the outstanding efforts made by our Polish colleagues, who have offered their time to help Ukrainian refugees and others in need. We’re still working with them to see how we can help them out even more. We support the people of Ukraine and will keep you updated on any further steps we take as the situation unfolds.

Daniel
