"In a ruling submitted today, Judge Corley said the following:

Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision has been described as the largest in tech history. It deserves scrutiny. That scrutiny has paid off: Microsoft has committed in writing, in public, and in court to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for 10 years on parity with Xbox. It made an agreement with Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to Switch. And it entered several agreements to for the first time bring Activision’s content to several cloud gaming services. This Court’s responsibility in this case is narrow. It is to decide if, notwithstanding these current circumstances, the merger should be halted—perhaps even terminated—pending resolution of the FTC administrative action. For the reasons explained, 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. "

    Wait until they set Edge as the default browser every time you start one of their games

        I feel like the “Edge is bad” stereotype is the new “Apple only has a one button mouse.”

        People were still making fun of that years after it was no longer the case.

          I don’t have anything personally against Edge as a browser. But what irks me to no end are all the way Microsoft tries to shove it down your throat. I will never use Edge for that reason only, even if it were to become the best browser by a mile.
