FTC withdraws its in-house challenge to Microsoft’s Activision-Blizzard deal

The FTC has paused its fight against Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, after losing its case for a preliminary injunction and the follow-up appeal.

The Verge
And as expected, the destructive consolidation of the industry moves forward again, cheered on by consumers celebrating the short term bump to the value of their subscription service.

Knowing the companies involved this is a positive change.

Activision Blizzard is a toxic dump. My hope is Microsoft throws out Activision management and cleans things up.

It literally can’t get worse than it is right now.

Oh it can definitely get worse lol
