Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

The consolidation of the gaming industry will be just another tale of oligopoly in a capitalist society I guess. Yaaay.

We're heading towards the balkanization of all digital content, DRM is the method they will use to enforce their rule.

Piracy isn't just moral at this stage, you're obligated to participate as a means to resist.

Piracy against big corporations? Sure, but indie devs? That's gonna hurt them far more and they usually haven't done anything to uustify it
