Despite the agreement to some changes, it has been criticized, and the DFEH believes allowing that settlement to go through might undermine its own case. That settlement proposal was announced as a series of changes, oversight, and an $18m proposed settlement amount. What's next in this this tangled series of motions and requests seems to be going forward with the DFEH motion to halt Activision Blizzard's proposed settlement agreement with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The original DFEH suit accused the company of widespread discrimination, civil rights violations, sexual harassment, and hostile workplace allegations, and it wants to push forward with its extensive case without being hamstrung by potential obstacles. Still, this doesn't mean anything is any closer to a resolution. While the judge denied the move to pause the suit, it was a quick decision without any reasoning stated, so there’s not yet any indication of where this all might be going yet. After the company filed to stay the lawsuit, the DFEH formally opposed it.
