10 gamers sue Microsoft over Activision Blizzard deal
Ten US gamers 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 lawsuit claims that if the acquisition were to go through, it would give Microsoft an “unparalleled position in the gaming industry,” as it would have too many “must-have games and iconic franchises.” The deal probably won’t stop the acquisition, but it’s one more hurdle Microsoft has to clear before they can get the deal over the line.
Warner Bros. Montreal has apparently started production on its next game
Gotham Knight may only be a couple of months old at this point, but it seems that hasn’t stopped developer Warner Bros. Montreal from going on to their next title. According to the LinkedIn profile of Gotham Knight’s senior producer Bryan Theberge, work has already begun on the developer’s next project, although there is no word yet on what that might be.

Rainbow Six Siege players looking forward to jumping in for a few rounds today have been treated to a bunch of NSFW images from hackers via the game’s ban feed.

The only way to compete in the mode was to cross your fingers and hope you were randomly placed in one, but Nintendo has now made sure those who want to compete in Tricolor Turf War can do so with little fuss.
