Microsoftは、Activision Blizzardの2022年の買収をめぐりスウェーデンの年金基金が起こしていた訴訟について、2億5000万ドルを支払うことで和解に合意した。今回の和解により、690億ドル規模の買収取引が同社の価値を過小評価しており、当時の不祥事の中で急いで進められたという主張に終止符が打たれる。
スウェーデンの年金基金であるSjunde AP-Fondenは、Activision Blizzardと同社の元CEOであるBobby Kotick氏を提訴していた。同基金は、当時浮上していた性的非行の疑惑を回避するために、取引が性急に完了させられたと主張していた。この訴訟は昨秋、デラウェア州衡平法裁判所で審理が進んでいたが、今回の和解に至った。
