The FTC May Be Preparing to Block a deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard
According to Politico sources, the agency may file an antitrust lawsuit against the deal as early as next month.
As the newspaper notes, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has not made a final decision. However, many authorized members of the commission are skeptical about the arguments provided by Microsoft and Activision Blizzard.
Activision Blizzard said they are going to continue to cooperate with regulators around the world, but “will not hesitate” if they have to fight for a deal. Microsoft, in turn, said that they are ready to take into account the concerns of both the FTC and other regulators.
