The class-action complaint, filed in a California Federal Court by the Rosen law firm, specifically names Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, current CFO Dennis Durkin, and former CFO Spencer Neumann. Those executives and others were "aware of or recklessly disregarded the fact that the false and misleading statements were being issued concerning the Company," according to the complaint.
