2. Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard was formally pursued yesterday by the Biden administration: Microsoft’s (MSFT.US) $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard (ATVI.US) is been sued by the US Federal Trade Commission. The Federal Council, which enforces antitrust laws, asked a judge to block the deal because it would have given Microsoft exclusive rights to Activision Blizzard games, a threat to Sony and Nintendo.
Microsoft has refuted this, saying the merger would benefit gamers, including game companies, and also filed a legally binding agreement to supply “Call of Duty” games to competitors like Sony for ten years. Microsoft also reached a 10-year deal with Nintendo last December to offer Call of Duty on its console if the merger goes through.(For complete information on US stocks, go to Extended Reading – US Stock Market Hot Topics)
