The US Supreme Court has denied the latest effort by a group of gamers to block Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard acquisition.
In December last year, a group of 10 gamers teamed up to file a federal antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft. The case aimed to argue that Microsoft’s acquisition of Call of Duty maker Activision would “foreclose rivals, limit output, reduce consumer choice, raise prices, and further inhibit competition”.
In March, a judge dismissed the “so-called gamers’ lawsuit” on the grounds it did not “plausibly allege the merger creates a reasonable probability of anticompetitive effects in any relevant market”.
