The U.S. Court has accepted the request of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to temporarily block the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft.
On Monday, June 14, 2023, the FTC filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction.
The complaint argued that without the temporary restraining order, Microsoft and Activision could have closed the deal at any time from this upcoming Friday onwards, and that the court’s decision was ‘necessary to maintain the status quo pending resolution of the complaint.’
The FTC’s request was accepted, and a related hearing is scheduled for June 23 and 24.
I fully agree so long as Mike Ybarra is at the reins, Blizzard is never gonna see improvement, the only thing this merger will do is open up what games go on game pass and likely add some perks for being a game pass holder to their existing games
IE 3 months of Game Pass when you sub to WoW for 6 months etc etc.
