Despite losing its pivotal court case, the Federal Trade Commission in the US still insists that Xbox’s deal is a ‘threat to competition.’
In fact, it’s something of a surprise that Microsoft hasn’t really said anything more about it since then, but perhaps that’s because the FTC hasn’t actually given up yet.
As soon as it lost the case the FTC tried to appeal but the judge for that ruled against them as well, so now they’ve organised a new case with an internal FTC judge. It’s widely assumed that Microsoft will complete the acquisition before the deadline of October 18, but the FTC’s case will carry on regardless.According to, the case has little chance of stopping or reversing the acquisition, which begs the obvious question of why are the FTC bothering?
We have no idea, but Activision Blizzard’s snarky response was as follows: ‘We’re focused on working with Microsoft toward closing. How the FTC uses limited taxpayer dollars is its decision.’
