A private consumer lawsuit was filed in California this week that aims to stop Microsoft from completing its $69 million acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
The suit, filed on behalf of 10 plaintiffs in California, New Mexico and New Jersey, is seeking an order to block the deal over antitrust concerns.
According to Reuters, the complaint claimed Microsoft would gain "far-outsized market power in the video game industry, with the ability to foreclose rivals, limit output, reduce consumer choice, raise prices and further inhibit competition."
