Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

… the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

    We want a more competitive landscape. Sony trouncing the competition isn’t the way to a good and healthy industry. This “consolidation” only harms people that refuse to buy an xbox or a pc or use game streaming services…so basically only people that will only buy a Playstation.
