微軟收購動視暴雪交易在美國的首次預審聽證會將於1月3日舉行，因為美國反壟斷機構聯邦貿易委員會在上個月發起訴訟並要求法官終止這筆交易。
FTC的成員表示，因為微軟自願作出讓步，想要說服法官阻止這筆交易將成為一場艱苦的戰鬥，路透社還在報道中寫道，FTC的行為基本可以理解成是美國政府層面在展示對於反壟斷的強硬態度。
與此同時，FTC也在等待CMA和歐盟的裁決。
© The first preliminary hearing in a legal dispute between the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Microsoft regarding the acquisition of Activision Blizzard is scheduled for Tuesday, January 3, 2023, Reuters reported. As you probably already know, the US Antitrust Service has every intention of blocking this maneuver and has decided to go to court against Redmon’s company to do this. Activision’s $69 billion acquisition of Blizzard guarantees Xbox exclusive access to some of the strongest franchises on the market, most notably Call of Duty, according to the FTC, hurting competition in the console market by restricting or denying rights to certain games and content on Sony platforms. PlayStation and Nintendo. In response, Microsoft has said that both gamers and gaming companies will benefit from this maneuver, and is even ready to sign a legally binding agreement with the FTC in which it commits to publish Call of Duty on competing consoles for ten years. The concessions offered by Microsoft are one of the main reasons many market analysts believe blocking the Activision acquisition of Blizzard will not be easy for the FTC. In the meantime, we are also awaiting verdicts from the CMA and the European Union, which, if negative, could finally jeopardize this maneuver. In any case, next week’s preliminary hearing may be just the first in a long line of steps before a final verdict is reached in court. Microsoft intends to complete the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by the end of June 2023, but the deadline may increase precisely because of this lawsuit by the FTC.
