In today's Daily Fix:
Former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick is responding to a lawsuit by claiming he was right to sell Activision to Microsoft a few years ago. The lawsuit claims Kotick rushed through the sale of Activision in order to keep his job and insulate himself from claims he knew about widespread reports of sexual harassment at the company. Kotick in turn is claiming that with Call of Duty's sales performance dropping year over year, it was the right move to sell Activision at that time. In other news, Meta is shifting its gaming focus away from the metaverse and is shuttering several VR studios and laying off hundreds. And finally, PS Plus games for January have been announced.
