Electronic Arts Inc., the second-largest U.S. video-game publisher, must defend a contract-interference lawsuit for $400 million brought by its larger rival Activision Blizzard Inc., a judge ruled.
California Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle in Los Angeles today refused to dismiss all but one of the claims against Electronic Arts. The judge, without ruling on the merits of Activision’s claims, said the company had provided sufficient facts in its complaint for the case to proceed.
