Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

I'm okay with console games. Many others are as well. The experience is cleaner and generally safer. I have a mobile phone, tablet, laptop and desktop but the number of games I play on them combined is approximately zero.

I trend more towards open hardware options without being forced to get specific hardware, so tend to see it from more the perspective of the impact on that area than I guess more normal gaming centric view where expectations of console ownership is normalized.
