Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

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.
It’s still an example of why some prefer Microsoft, since Sony and Nintendo are still very much in the business of pushing people towards using proprietary hardware. Even Linux and Mac users benefit from a game coming out to PC versus console only or a delayed PC release despite no native port with improvements in proton and Mac’s Game Porting tool.
Those two games are both on PC
Yes after much delay and future sequels not an absolute guarantee either.

Their hardware is the priority and main focus over an open hardware platform, so while I love that Sony has started releasing exclusives even if it is 3-4 years later it wouldn’t shock me if they ceased future plans either.
