Gamers Continue Legal Battle Against Microsoft's Activision Acquisition

A group of video gamers has filed a new legal challenge to Microsoft's $69 billion bid to buy Activision Blizzard after a US judge rejected an earlier version of the antitrust lawsuit. The new 73-page lawsuit contained redacted assertions derived from Microsoft internal documents, including a strategy memo and other business reports that were "provided directly to the board of directors." Microsoft has denied the gamers' claims that the proposed transaction would curb competition. The case is still subject to court scrutiny and also can be dismissed.
