US judge rules Microsoft deal to buy Activision can go ahead FMTNews FMTBusiness
Opponents of the deal say it would give Microsoft exclusive access to Activision games, including the best-selling ‘Call of Duty’.
The FTC had originally asked the judge to stop the proposed deal, arguing it would give Microsoft Corp, maker of the Xbox gaming console, exclusive access to Activision games including the best-selling “Call of Duty”. Microsoft president Brad Smith tweeted that the company was “grateful” for the “quick and thorough” decision.
To address the FTC’s concerns, Microsoft agreed to license “Call of Duty” to rivals, including a 10-year contract with Nintendo, contingent on the merger closing.
