This resolution,follows Microsoft's completion of its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard in October, a deal that received regulatory approval after Microsoft addressed concerns raised in the U.K..

As part of the settlement terms, Activision Blizzard will pay workers and the court charges. Specifically, about $45.75 million will be directed to a settlement fund designed to compensate workers affected by the alleged discriminatory practices.
