Activision Blizzard, Inc.; Proposed Final Judgment and Competitive Impact Statement Notice is hereby given pursuant to the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act, 15 U.S.C. 16(b)–(h), that a proposed Final Judgment, Stipulation, and Competitive Impact Statement have been filed with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in United States of America v. Activision Blizzard, Inc., Civil Action No 1:23–cv–00895. On April 3, 2023, the United States filed a Complaint alleging that Activision Blizzard, Inc. (‘‘Activision’’) and the teams in the Overwatch and Call of Duty Leagues owned by Activision agreed to suppress wages for professional esports players through the imposition of a ‘‘Competitive Balance Tax,’’ which penalized any team that paid total annual compensation to its players above a certain threshold set by Activision, in violation of section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. 1. The proposed Final Judgment, filed at the same time as the complaint, requires Activision to certify that it has ended all rules in the Overwatch and Call of Duty Leagues that impose an upper threshold on compensation for any player or players in those leagues; prohibits Activision from reinstating or implementing any rule that imposes an upper limit on compensation for any player or players in any professional esports league owned or controlled by Activision; requires Activision to provide notice of the meaning and requirements of the Final Judgment to all teams and players in professional esports leagues owned or controlled by VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Apr 24, 2023 Jkt 259001 Activision; requires Activision to implement a revised antitrust compliance policy; and imposes cooperation and reporting requirements.

Activision Blizzard, Inc., 3100 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica, California 90405, Defendant. Civil Action No.: 1:23–cv–00895 (Cobb, J.) Complaint The United States of America brings this civil antitrust action against Activision Blizzard, Inc. (‘‘Activision’’). Activision, a leading video game developer, owns and operates professional esports leagues built around two of its most popular teambased games, Overwatch and Call of Duty. For years, Activision and the independently owned teams in each league agreed to impose a ‘‘Competitive Balance Tax.’’ The Tax, which effectively operated as a salary cap, penalized teams for paying esports players above a certain threshold and limited player compensation in these leagues. This conduct had the purpose and effect of limiting competition between the teams in each league for esports players and suppressed esports players’ wages. This conduct violates PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 25015 section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. 1, and should be enjoined. I. Industry Background 1. Today, few pastimes in the United States match the popularity and cultural impact of video games. An estimated 60 percent of Americans report they play video games on a weekly basis, and total consumer spending on video games in the United States reportedly topped $56 billion in 2022. Today’s video game fans are not just interested in playing, but watching others play their favorite games on streaming sites such as Twitch and YouTube. 2. Two of Activision’s most popular multiplayer video games are Overwatch and Call of Duty. Overwatch became one of the best-selling video games in 2016, its first year of release, and has since attracted millions of players. Since the release of the original Call of Duty game in 2003, Activision has published 18 additional titles in the series and reportedly has sold more than 400 million units, making it one of the bestselling video game franchises in history. 3. To capitalize on the success of Overwatch and Call of Duty, Activision created two professional esports leagues that feature teams comprising the very best Overwatch and Call of Duty players in the world. Launched in 2018, Activision’s Overwatch League currently has 20 city-based teams located across North America, Europe, and Asia. The popularity of Activision’s Overwatch League has been a leading contributor to the growth of esports in the United States. Soon after, in 2020, Activision launched its Call of Duty League with twelve teams using the same city-based model as the Overwatch League. 4. The Overwatch and Call of Duty Leagues have generated hundreds of millions of dollars for Activision from franchise fees, sponsorship revenues, exclusive streaming deals with YouTube, and the Overwatch League’s television broadcast deal with Disney (including subsidiaries ESPN and ABC). Millions of viewers around the world have tuned in to watch professional Overwatch and Call of Duty players compete in league matches. In the inaugural season of the Overwatch League, 107 million viewers streamed matches over Twitch. By the next year, it was the most watched esports league in the world with more than 75.9 million hours watched. The Call of Duty League’s official streaming channels attract more than 15 million views per month, and more than 300,000 viewers tuned in to the inaugural league championship in 2020.
