Microsoft settles antitrust lawsuit over Activision Blizzard acquisition
An antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft over its acquisition of Activision Blizzard has been settled.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, both parties notified the court on Monday that the case was to be dismissed "with prejudice," meaning it could not be refiled.
The terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Lawyers agreed in a court filing that "each party shall bear their own costs and fees."
The private consumer lawsuit was initially filed in December 2022 over antitrust concerns. The case was dismissed in March 2023 after a federal judge in San Francisco ruled the complaint "[lacked] allegations" but granted the plaintiffs 20 days to resubmit the case.
It was refiled in April 2023 with additional information, including internal documents and redacted sections relating to ten-year agreements Microsoft made with Sony and Nintendo.
