Supreme Court Rejects Gamers' Plea to Halt Microsoft's Activision Acquisition
TL;DR
The Supreme Court has denied a group of gamers' attempt to block Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. The gamers had filed for an emergency injunction, claiming that the merger would harm competition in the gaming market. The Ninth Circuit of Appeals had previously rejected their request. With this obstacle removed, Microsoft's main challenge now lies in the block imposed by the UK's CMA, while negotiations for a potential divestment and deadline extension with Activision Blizzard are ongoing.
