Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Two professional esports players are demanding at least $680 million in aggregate monetary damages in a lawsuit against Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard, alleging the game company holds an “unlawful 100% monopoly” over professional leagues and tournaments for first-person shooter “Call of Duty.” Activision Blizzard has used its “unlawful monopoly power to prevent would-be competitors from entering the market, as well as to coerce the market’s other participants — in particular, professional ‘Call of Duty’ players and team owners — to acquiesce to extortionate financial terms,” the lawsuit said. The two esports players suing Activision are Hector Rodriguez (known by his “Call of Duty” handle “H3CZ”), founder of the OpTic Gaming team; and Seth Abner, known by his gamer tag “Scump.” No Call of Duty League teams are named as plaintiffs — and the lawsuit calls the other teams in the CDL “co-conspirators” in perpetuating Activision’s alleged monopoly and says “plaintiffs reserve the right to name as defendants some or all of the entities or individuals who acted as co-conspirators with Defendant in the alleged offenses.” In a statement, an Activision Blizzard rep said, “Mr.

Larry David, claiming that the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm “lied” by portraying conservatives as “racists and rednecks”.The long-running HBO comedy series recently kicked off its 12th and final season, and the episode that angered Greene saw David (playing an exaggerated version of himself) arrested for offering a voter a sip of water while queuing at a polling booth on a boiling hot day.The gesture apparently violated the state law in Georgia, which prevents people from giving food and drink to voters waiting in line.In another scene, David is forced to go door-to-door in Atlanta, seeking a replacement for a racist lawn statue he accidentally damaged at an Airbnb, which leads to a confrontation with an angry Trump supporter in a MAGA (Make America Great Again) hat.In a lengthy post on X (formerly Twittter), Greene said that Curb Your Enthusiasm “lied” by painting conservatives and Trump supports as “racists and rednecks”.The right-wing politician also accused the episode of “making fun of our good new law that stops the Stacey Abrams vote pandering machine and prevents voter fraud”.“We in Georgia are fed up with disgusting Hollywood and their disgusting values and elite judgement in our state that is trying to turn GA blue!” she wrote.I watched this week’s episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and it was a glaring reminder of why most Georgian’s resent Republicans in our state for inviting the nasty commies from California, the Hollywood elites, into our state by dishing out Hollywood tax credits.This week’s…— Marjorie Taylor Greene
