"An ugly court action is underway and it involves a pair of video game titans.
On Tuesday Valve filed suit against Activision Blizzard in U.S. District Court in Seattle. The suit alleges that Activision refused to honor an agreement to abide by an arbitrator’s April 6th award decision involving a 2002 dispute over royalties.

Activision, however, challenged the award, claiming that Valve had been overpaid by $424,136 in years past."
