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.
What kind of games does Activision Blizzard release besides the obvious ones? COD, WOW, and Diablo? I mainly buy indie games but I know those are giant series.
they also will be getting King, which makes Candy Crush, which makes about a bil a year
Blizzard also has Overwatch, StarCraft, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone.
I don’t really know the Activision side. I was a big Blizzard fan before learning about the Cosby room and their treatment of women in the workplace.
