tl;dr from the article:

What you need to know

  • The FTC is trying to stop Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard for almost $69 billion.
  • After having a preliminary injunction denied, the FTC appealed the decision to the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, appealing the decision and seeking injunctive relief.
  • The injunctive relief, which would've extended the existing temporary restraining order, has been denied. 
  • Microsoft can legally acquire Activision Blizzard in the U.S. very shortly.

I can’t wait for Diablo 4 on GamePass 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm excited for CoD to not be a $70 gamble on whether or not the game is good. Like, 2019 was pretty good, 2020 was great, 2021 was bad, 2022 was bad, 2023 is most likely going to be bad, and 2024 is most likely going to finally be some good CoD again. It'd be real nice if I just had access to this via $15 subscription day one.

And speculative pipe dream hope: Activision has a load of currently unused IPs that I'd love to see Microsoft bring back.

Blur 2 would be pretty cool IMHO
