Microsoft has successfully settled a lawsuit filed by a group of gamers that challenged its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The lawsuit was dismissed "with prejudice," meaning it cannot be refiled.
As part of the settlement, both Microsoft and the gamers will pay their own legal fees. However, there are still ongoing legal battles concerning the Activision Blizzard deal, particularly with the FTC.
Earlier in the year, the FTC alleged that changes to Microsoft's Game Pass violated commitments made to secure the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Microsoft has contested the FTC's characterization.
The U.S. federal court is yet to rule on the briefs filed by Microsoft and FTC. As it stands, the situation surrounding the Activision Blizzard acquisition remains legally complex.
