several players have irrefutable proof that Microsoft seeks a monopoly

We couldn’t get enough of all the drama surrounding the Activision Blizzard purchase and now we’ve got a new unexpected demand. A group of players have filed an appeal with the United States Ninth Circuit Court, revealing an email with very sensitive information.

The problem is that we cannot know exactly its content, although the lawyers indicate that we are facing a “irrefutable proof that Microsoft intended to drive its main competitor, Sony’s PlayStation, out of the market

“. This legal issue has been resolved since December 2022 when 10 people sued Microsoft for trying to reduce competition and consolidate a monopoly following the attempted purchase of Activision Blizzard.

If we take a look at the email, it is claimed that Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, and Tim Stuart, Microsoft’s CFO for Xbox, exchanged messages in which the maxim of eliminating PlayStation was expressed. However, this information is hidden in what is known as the K test and the company has spoken about it. A representative has pointed out to Axios

that, although they cannot reveal the content of the email, they assure that Booty sent it in 2019.

That is, we would be talking about all this happening before Microsoft’s intention to buy Activision Blizzard became officialsince the public offer took place at the beginning of 2022. Meanwhile, we are still awaiting the decisions that are addressed in the suspension taken by the FTC, temporarily blocking the acquisition of Bobby Kotick’s company.
