Microsoft has a few reasons to celebrate as of late thanks to a few record-breaking buyouts to put a huge swathe of the game industry under its thumb.
Microsoft finalized its purchase of Activision Blizzard Inc. for $69 billion after it received approval from UK regulators on Friday.
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.
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.
