FTC appeals its loss to Microsoft in Activision Blizzard case
(www.theverge.com)
As they should.
MS is using monopoly tactics to carve itself a huge portion of the video game market. They already own dozens of IPs that they have no intention of ever using.
Considering ABK are being delisted from the Nasdaq-100 this weekend, I’m guessing Microsoft will close regardless of this appeal?
That's my understanding. If the FTC is successful, I've been told they can start breaking up Microsoft under antitrust, but they couldn't prove that this acquisition harms competition in the gaming market.
