Microsoft has responded to the FTC's block of their acquisition of ActivisionBlizzard by claiming the move is unconstitutional.

\n A few weeks ago, the FTC filed a motion to block the acquisition, citing that bringing the companies under the Microsoft banner would give the company an unfair advantage in the marketplace and essentially create a monopoly for them. With Call Of Duty being used as one of the biggest examples, as the game has now become a bargaining chip, with Kotaku reporting that Microsoft offered the franchise as a PlayStation Plus-only title.

The company even cites that they have offered to put Call of Duty on the Nintendo Switch , and even cited that Nintendo has many first-party titles that are far more popular that are exclusive to Nintendo-based consoles for decades, and the marketplace has thrived despite having some of the most recognizable games on the planet under their banner.
