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.

        Not true. There are now current gen only games, and the Xbox Series S is current gen. It’s really become a problem. I think Balder’s Gate is getting delayed on Xbox because of problems running it on S. Microsoft doesn’t allow developers to support the X and not the S.
