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.

At the time I was excited about the consolidation of Marvel IP and what it could mean. Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic 4 all under one roof? Exciting!

Now, I'm so burned out on all of it I just stopped watching. They went so hard to get ALL of my time that they now get none of it.
