Report: Feds 'likely' to fight Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard:

Steps are however being made to prepare one, with “

much of the heavy lifting” having already been done, like receiving depositions from the bosses of Microsoft f the agency does move ahead with a case, it could come as soon as next month”.Any antitrust case would have a fairly clear goal: the FTC would be arguing that allowingto purchase Activision Blizzard, one of the world’s biggest third-party publishers, would give Microsoft an unfair advantagThat argument, and process, is already underway in Europe.

The preliminary investigation suggests that Microsoft may have the ability, as well as a potential economic incentive, to engage in foreclosure strategies vis-à-vis Microsoft’s rival distributors of console video games.

Capitalism, Markets, and Competition. What does all of that equal to? Concentration of capital & private property to fewer and fewer hands. Competition breeds autocracy. Capitalist Governments enable them in practice.

Mfs wanna get involved with this but not the sexual harassment?😂

Good.

Why is buying established 3rd party publishers healthy competition but not actually using that money for resources to create GREAT games? Xbox was already getting these games...

Why

I'm tired of this story.... Can't waiiit 2 see the end of this ' brawl business '

Over a decade since LiveNation/Ticketmaster but let’s just focus on Microsoft buying a game dev, sure.

No body in the FTC talked about it yet but it's 'likely' ok 💀

Feds gave into Sonys tears ?

I am training the Federal dragons for the attack right now, it’s kind of fun

Report: Big Game Companies Like Square Enix And Roblox Are Ignoring Climate ChangeWhile others, with robust policies in place, are trying to help limit global warming to 1.5 degrees and that’s why they’re dead companies Are they run by Trump cultists? Every company is ignoring climate change. They're just paying lip service. Just like they do when they pretend to care about gay people, just like when they pretend to care about black people. Corporations only care about money. Believing they care is exactly what they planned.
