Activision Blizzard is not the only company in the video game industry facing scrutiny for its treatment of women. But unlike individuals, not all lawsuits are created equal, as we’ll find we look at the proposed class action lawsuit recently brought against Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE).

It may be actionable, but it’s not Activision…in Virtual Legality.
