Activision-Blizzard’s Three-Year Plan for Implementing Inclusivity Leaked Online

Some of the key points:

• Every element of the game development cycle touches on “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) in some way;
• Implementation of AI moderation in voice chat to ensure DEI compliance by players. We have written about this before;
• Plans for diversifying characters and storylines;
• Creation of an Inclusive Game Design council staffed with recruited experts to “empower” teams to be inclusive;
• The company tracks the “inclusivity score” of each employee;
• Introduction of “succession plans to reduce bias” for employees, and bonuses for managers who meet these plans;
• The company conducts an internal “Press Pause” video series to educate employees about diversity and a culture of support.
• “Celebrating hip-hop in Call of Duty promotes inclusivity.” Hip-hop is also part of Black culture, which is why Call of Duty features skins of Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, and others;
• Inclusive game design: added more characters such as Catbat, the first non-binary character, voiced by a non-binary actor, who “uses all pronouns” in Crash Team Rumble.
