The FTC has officially concluded its legal battle with Microsoft regarding the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, dismissing its case after declining an appeal for an injunction. This decision enables Microsoft to proceed with operations involving Activision unfettered by court scrutiny. The legal conflict lasted approximately two years, culminating in a statement from Microsoft’s Brad Smith that celebrates the ruling as beneficial for players and common sense. The FTC recognized that ending the litigation best serves the public interest, marking a pivotal moment for the video game industry and Microsoft’s market expansion.
Today's decision is a victory for players across the country and for common sense in Washington, D.C. We are grateful to the FTC for today's announcement.
The Commission has determined that the public interest is best served by dismissing the administrative litigation in this case. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Complaint in this matter be, and it hereby is, DISMISSED.
