FTC Continues Fight to Block Microsoft’s Completed Acquisition of Activision Blizzard

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) continues to fight Microsoft over its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. In an update following the FTC’s appeal over a federal court order that greenlit the deal, the agency reiterated its arguments against Microsoft’s efforts. However, it remains to be seen if the proceedings will go the FTC’s way, particularly considering that Microsoft has already closed the Activision Blizzard acquisition.
