The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has lost what may be its final attempt to block Microsoft from buying Activision Blizzard. It’s the second loss for the FTC after a US federal judge denied its request for a preliminary injunction earlier this week to block Microsoft from acquiring Activision Blizzard until the conclusion of a separate FTC administrative case.
So it looks as if the Activision Blizzard sale is happening.
They did such a bad job in court... focused entirely on CoD which they already had offers for everyone to get for 10yr minimum. How you gonna win that case?
They're not buying Activision for Diablo, they're in it for the mobile platform. Microsoft believes the future is in cloud gaming, and the Activision's mobile platform is very well developed.
