Microsoft wins FTC court battle over $69 billion Activision Blizzard buyout
The ongoing battle between Microsoft and the FTC has been a monumental spectacle in gaming history. Between accidental reveals and the announcement of games that almost certainly do not exist, it’s easy to forget that the fate of huge franchises like Call of Duty has hung in the balance amidst these legal struggles. Today, in a huge victory for Microsoft, a California judge has ruled in favor of the tech giant’s pursuit to acquire Activision Blizzard by denying a preliminary injunction from the FTC to block the deal.
