A judge has blocked a request from Microsoft that would have paused to a gamer lawsuit that was aimed at blocking their acquisition of Activision until after their FTC suit, according to Axios’ Stephen Totilo.
The preliminary hearing for the suit will proceed on March 23rd.
The suit, which was filed back in December 2022 by Alioto Law Firm and the Joseph Saveri Law Firm on behalf of their plaintiffs claimed: “Activision Blizzard is thus a massive and vigorous competitor in the industry, already demonstrating its willingness to compete in new markets”
Furthermore, the suit stated “That competition may be irreparably lost if the acquisition is allowed to proceed.”
