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.

To be clear, overall I don't disagree that more consolidation is bad. It's literally just this instance. Activision needs to die and be restructured.

lemmy needs an op indicator

It does (on the website -- if you're using an app, that's on your app creator). OP simply hasn't replied to any comments in the thread yet. Last I saw, kbin was missing the OP indicator, but that shouldn't affect you on beehaw.

I'm seeing it from the browser, I'm from the beehaw instance, I didn't see the op indicator, I saw it was by the username

What do you mean? There is an OP indicator (I mean, at least Liftoff shows one).

Jerboa has an indicator.

Kbin as well! I am constantly realizing who that random commenters are actually OP responding to questions in their own thread haha!

Or in this case, a commenter responding to their own comment!

Yeah, this is like watching two bad parents fight for custody of a child. Microsoft is ab-so-lutely going to limit the reach and quality of this game off their own system. They might fulfill the letter, but their intentions are clear.
