The company was independent until 1997, when it was acquired by Activision forR$12 million.[6] They were still collaborating with id 🧾 Software but at the same time developed other titles as well such as Soldier of Fortune in 2000, Star Wars 🧾 Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy in 2003, X-Men Legends in 2004 and many more.
In December 2024, Activision did not renew the 🧾 contract of several members of the quality assurance (QA) department that were contract employees. One of the associate managers said 🧾 that "valuable members" were fired although they "were promised, for months, that Activision was working towards a pay restructure to 🧾 increase their wages".[12] Following these firings as well as other controversies revolving Activision Blizzard, a strike has been initiated.[13][14] On 🧾 January 21, 2024, Raven's QA team formed a union named the Game Workers Alliance with Communications Workers of America.[15]
