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.

A company I actively hate is being merged into a company that I tolerate. The level of scum coming from Microsoft doesn't even compare to Bobby "exploit on a yearly basis" Kotick.

In general, I want a greater variety of products from a greater variety of developers/producers. Activision deserves to fucking die, and Microsoft hasn't managed to develop any ire from me in the last 4-5 years. So, the nuance wins, and I am happy Microsoft won this specific case.
