10 Gamers Are Suing Microsoft Over Activision Blizzard Deal
Ten gamers in the United States have come together to file a federal antitrust lawsuit in San Francisco in an attempt to get a court order to stop Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

The deal probably won't stop the acquisition, but it's yet another hurdle Microsoft has to clear before it can get the deal over the line.
