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.

    Well, ask me when Sony buys an entire publisher and makes all their future games exclusive.

      I like the use of the ‘publisher’ qualifier so that there can’t be talk of the numerous studios Sony has acquired over the years that only produce games for Playstation.
