The group of random gamers suing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft over the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Activision deal say they have "uncontroverted evidence" that Xbox want🦩s to put PlayStation out of business.

In an appeal filing revealed by , lawyers representing the "Gamer's Lawsuit" say that the court, which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:previously dismissed the suit, "failed to consider uncontroverted evidence that Microsoft had the intention to put its main competition, the Sony PlayStation, out of the market; and that this meꩲrger is a part of that strategy."

That evidence, apparently, consists of an internal email sent by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty to Xbox's chief financial officer, Tim Stuart. In the public release of the filing the contents of that email, referred to as Exhibit K, have been redacted, as Microsoft characterizes it 🍬as an "internal exchange" that should not be shown outside of court.

The Ga🧔mer's Lawsuit has been kicking around since December 2022, and reached particularly notable heights as lawyers representing the gamers 🍌澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:asked Sony and Nintendo CEOs to come testify. After the suit was dismissed earlier this year, it was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:amended and refiled with a request that the court make a preliminaryꦓ injunction against the deal - that .

This is all separate to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FTC's effort to b🌺lock the Xbox A﷽ctivision merger, which is broadly considered quite a bit more serious than the Gamer's Lawsuit. That's on top of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:UK's CMA blocking the purchase earlier this ✱year, a move 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox is set to appeal.

There will surely be no shortage of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Xbox Series X games regardless of whether the deal goes through.
