It's not just the government on Microsoft and Activision's case these days. A group of 10 gamers filed a private antitrust lawsuit in California to attempt to stop Microsoft from buying Activision Blizzard.
Details:
It states that the deal "may cause loss to the Plaintiffs, and the public at large, in the form of higher prices, less innovation, less creativity, less consumer choice, decreased output, and other potential anticompetitive effects, which deprive the Plaintiff s, and the public at large, of the salutary benefits of competition."The suit lists their gaming platforms of choice. Most don't use a Microsoft Xbox, and several only play on Sony PlayStations.
