Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 37261, member: 636"] Microsoft won against the FTC appeal about the Activision Blizzard deal. The three judges from the 9th Circuit Court ruled that the first court made the right call last year. They agreed the FTC failed to prove Microsoft would keep Call of Duty away from PlayStation or make bad versions for it. The court also sided with Microsoft on game library issues since Activision never put games there before anyway. The panel said the FTC did not show how the merger would hurt cloud gaming either. This cleared the path for Microsoft to finish its $68.7 billion purchase, which happened last October. Fears about making games only for Xbox turned out to be wrong. Microsoft went the other way instead, bringing its games to PlayStation and Nintendo systems. They just said Gears of War will come to PlayStation 5 this summer. The deal helped more people play these games, not fewer. [/QUOTE]
