Attendees stand next to signage for Activision Blizzard Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 video game during the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, Calif.

Concerns are mounting over the direction of Activision Blizzard under Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kotick, and a group of employees say it’s time for him to step down.

The company, known for hit video games like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, has been in turmoil since the summer, when it was sued by California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing over allegations of sexual harassment, unequal pay and retaliation. The agency described a “frat boy culture” at the company and accused leadership of failing to take action.
