Abstract

The article reports on the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to block technology company Microsoft from acquiring video game maker Activision Blizzard as it would harm consumers. Focus is given on the arguments of Microsoft that the deal would expand market competition and create more opportunities for gamers and game developers. It shows efforts of Microsoft to assuage regulators' monopoly concerns, as well as government scrutiny of the impact of mergers on workers.
