如果FTC提起訴訟,這將對微軟造成重大打擊,微軟目前正在與英國監管機構“作鬥爭”,FTC預計在11月之前對微軟收購動視暴雪的提議作出裁決。

【PC遊戲】傳FTC可能會阻止微軟687億美元收購動視暴雪-第1張

FTC關注的核心問題是,收購動視暴雪是否會給微軟在電子遊戲市場帶來(對其它公司)不公平的競爭力,這些擔憂與CMA提到的問題相呼應,特別是《決勝時刻》相關。

Microsoft might be about to hit a snag in its aquisition of Activision Blizzard, as it's been suggested that the FTC will file an antitrust lawsuit against the deal as several employees are reportedly "sceptical of the companies’ arguments." Microsoft has spent the majority of the time since announcing the planned acqusition trying to convince regulators like the FTC and CMA that its deal won't give it an unfair advantage in the gaming industry. According to three sources cited by Politco (via VGC), the lawsuit could be brought to Microsoft as early as next month. The lawsuit isn't guaranteed to happen, but those reviewing the deal apparently aren't too convinced by Microsoft's arguments.

It simply means that Microsoft will have to fight for its deal in the US courts, very likely delaying its closure and heightening the possibility that the deal could collapse. Given the incredibly drawn out nature of the deal so far, it's definitely going to be much more than a slight headache for Microsoft. As I'm sure you'll have seen over the past few months, Microsoft and Sony have both been pleading their cases to the CMA, the latter claming that the possibility of Microsoft making Call of Duty an exclusive gives it an unfair advantage. Arguments from both were made public earlier today, in which we found out Microsoft believes Sony wouldn't be negatively impacted by the deal as its exclusives are "of better quality" than Xbox's. Its words not mine! We also found out from these documents that Sony thinks Microsoft wants PlayStation to become more like Nintendo and that the PS6 won't release until at least 2027.
