Further on 12, April there a status hearing will be conducted. The case has been filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California involving Demartini and Microsoft. Attorneys Joseph Alioto and Joseph Saveri from the Alioto Law Firm and the Joseph Saveri Law Firm, respectively, are representing the plaintiffs. Since Microsoft announced in January 2022 that it planned to purchase Activision Blizzard, it has encountered with legal opposition from publishers, customers, and government authorities. The company is now under investigation for anticompetitive practices in both the European Union (EU) and the UK. Though, the ruling in the dismissed gamers' lawsuit has no bearing on the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) regulatory challenge against the largest-ever gaming sector merger in the US. Notably, private individuals may challenge mergers and acquisitions under US antitrust law, in addition to the government. The FTC has set a hearing for the evidence to be presented in early August.
