So, yesterday the Federal Trade Commission sued to block Microsoft’s sixty-nine billion acquisition of video game maker Activision Blizzard. The F.T.C. said that the deal would harm douchenozzle consumers because Microsoft could use Activision’s blockbuster games like Call of Duty to lure game freaks from rivals. The agency’s commissioners voted 3 to 1 to approve filing the suit. As expected, Microsoft said it would not abandon the deal and would fight in court to keep the acquisition alive. After all, the scale of those games is enormous: Activision says it has almost 370 million active users each month. That’s a lot of dosh.
Cos, there’s a lot of maniacs!!!
