原文摘选:
An Activision Blizzard Inc. unit lost a bid to have the European Union’s highest court reduce an antitrust fine levied on a cartel involving Nintendo Co.

......EU regulators had relied on “constituted sufficient evidence of the existence of an agreement between Activision Blizzard and Nintendo which was contrary to EU law.”
欧盟最高法院在判决书上说这次判决是"根据确切的充分的证据,这些证据显示AB和地狱的违反欧盟法律的价格同盟".

The European Commission, the EU antitrust agency, fined Nintendo and seven distributors 167.8 million euros ($228.9 million) for colluding between 1991 and 1998 to raise prices of games and consoles. Nintendo won an appeal to the EU’s second- highest court in 2009 cutting its fine by 20 percent to 119.2 million euros from 149.1 million euros.
欧盟判予任地狱及其余七家(游戏)供应商罚款1.678亿欧元,因为他们在1991至1998年间串通以提高游戏硬件和软件价格.任地狱赢得在欧盟次高法院的上诉并将对其的罚款从1.491亿降至1.192亿.

原来反反垄断的苦恼不是只有巨硬有. 不过欧盟年年反垄断,年年反价格高,但在游戏业上(相较美日)被宰大户的地位却没见有啥改变

欧洲和袋鼠Kiwi都是有对游戏征特别出版税的，哪些高出来的都被政府卷走了
