On Thursday, the Federal Trade Commission announced a lawsuit to block Microsoft from acquiring Activision Blizzard, developers of the Call of Duty and Overwatch franchises. The FTC alleges the deal would give Microsoft an unfair advantage over its competitors in the gaming industry, essentially creating a monopoly. Microsoft announced the planned acquisition, reportedly worth $68.7 billion, in January. The FTC called it the largest-ever deal in the video gaming industry. (Decrypt)
