I wonder if Sony is bankrolling it, because it sounds like the bullshit they've been spewing to stop the buyout.

Nearly all of the plaintiffs are described in the filing as being persons who play games exclusively on the Playstation 5 who play Call of Duty and other Activision games. These people were absolutely recruited by the Alioto Law firm and Joseph Saveri Law firm which specialize in Anti-trust litigation. I would not be shocked at all that they are self-funding this case in order to rake in millions of dollars in fees in a settlement, and they'll give their "plaintiffs" a token amount for being the so-called victims. Maybe Sony is involved, but probably only in as much as providing the list of PS players who Sony keeps about their own customers. Either way, Sony is getting what they want out of this situation.
