Let me preface this with a disclaimer: I don’t hate Christmas. Nor am I a Christian.

Almost two years after it was originally filed, an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft filed by a group of gamers has reportedly been dismissed for good.Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision faced a lot of pushback from the likes of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) when its plans were announced, but one group that didn’t give up even after the buyout went through was the team behind the so-called ‘gamers’ lawsuit,’ known officially as Dante DeMartini et al v. Microsoft Corporation.
