Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Activision Blizzard Staff Announce Start of New Strike Action

-

The ABK Workers Alliance, a collective of Activision Blizzard and King employees, has initiated strike action against its employer. The group plans to continue its work stoppage until its demands are met. This follows walkouts from other Activision Blizzard groups, including Raven’s QA department.

Announced via a post on Twitter, the group said “Today, the ABK Worker's Alliance announces the initiation of its strike. We encourage our peers in the Game Industry to stand with us in creating lasting change.”

In addition, the Tweet also includes a link to a Gofundme page, which allows supporters to provide financial donations to help participating Activision Blizzard and King staff through their work stoppage. “For those who wish to join in solidarity, please consider donating to our Strike Fund,” said the tweet. The fund has a goal of $1 million.

The announcement of the ABK Workers Alliance strike follows Monday’s news of Raven Software's QA team walkout over the termination of contractors. Striking staff were supported by other Activision Blizzard workers in solidarity, with further walkouts happening in Texas, Minnesota, and California.

There have now been multiple strikes at Activision Blizzard as the company continues to work its way through an ongoing sexual harassment and gender discrimination lawsuit. A first work stoppage occurred in July following the filing of the lawsuit from the state of California, and a second strike happened in November. ABK Workers Alliance also reported that Treyarch’s central QA team walked out on December 7 in support of the Raven work stoppage.

Part of the ABK Workers Alliance’s demands is that Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is to be replaced. While a group of shareholders have demanded he resign, the company board continues to back Kotick as CEO.

For more information on the situation, read our complete timeline of events regarding Activision Blizzard since the lawsuit was announced.
