Microsoft battled Sony and the Federal Trade Commission for more than a year to buy Activision Blizzard. The deal is completed at the end of 2023, after which Phil Spencer visited all the teams and talked about a great future together.
Less than six months after the epic battle, Microsoft announced the layoffs of 1,900 Microsoft Gaming employees. The situation has caused a strong reaction, and Elizabeth Warren – a bankruptcy lawyer and politician associated with the Democratic Party, a senator from Massachusetts since 2013 – believes that the FTC should continue to fight to overturn the merger.

As you know, the Federal Trade Commission is still trying to influence the merger between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard . American officials are no longer able to block the deal, since it has already been completed, but there is still a chance to force the corporation to abandon it.
