The California-based gaming company 'threatened employees that they cannot talk about or communicate about wages, hours and working conditions,' according to a complaint.

The California-based gaming company"threatened employees that they cannot talk about or communicate about wages, hours and working conditions" and also"engaged in surveillance" and"interrogation" of employees advocating for better working conditions, according to a complaint.

It's the latest development after months of scrutiny against Activision Blizzard by US government authorities as well as dissent from its own employees. Several former Activision Blizzard employees had already begun sharing their experiences on social media in the wake of the lawsuit, but the company's effort to downplay the suit's claims prompted more than 2,000 current and former workers to sign a petition slamming that response as"abhorrent and insulting."

Bioscience firm claims will bring back extinct mammothCan extinct species be resurrected? One bioscience firm insists they can, announcing Monday its intent to use emerging technology to restore the woolly mammoth to the Arctic tundra. This is some Jurassic Park shit. You can't just add a 4,000 year old extinct species into our world today and expect all will be ok.
