The biggest acquisition in video game history appears to be coming to a close. After Microsoft offered to buy Activision Blizzard nearly two years ago—and faced a barrage of government hurdles along the way—the tech company is reportedly readying to close the sale.
Amidst a massive $69 billion dollar deal by Microsoft to purchase Activision—the largest deal in video game history—the tech giant has faced a good bit of turbulence.
Microsoft’s future plans for its Xbox gaming platform were exposed in the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) legal filings on Monday evening.
Shortly after a judge denied the Federal Trade Commission’s injunction to block Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard on Tuesday, the FTC has now turned to an appeals court to stop the $69 billion deal once again.
