#Blizzard sued

Activision Blizzard is being sued by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) for their Overwatch and Call of Duty leagues. Blizzard is facing legal problems as they are being sued by the US Justice Department for a "Competitive Balance Tax". This tax is made to avoid wealthier eSports teams from overpaying their talents for Blizzard's leagues in Overwatch and Call of Duty. A degree was proposed by the DOJ that says that Activision Blizzard is not permitted to engage in related anti-competitive conducts going forward. With Activision Blizzard now owned by Microsoft, they have signed a deal with Sony to keep the Call of Duty franchise on PlayStation. When Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard, PlayStation fans wondered the multi-billion dollar franchise Call of Duty would leave their console. Blizzard Entertainment has announced that Cross-Play is coming to Overwatch soon, allowing players from different platforms to team up. According to Blizzard, players will need to make a Battle.net account and link their respective console accounts.
