FTC files injunction to block Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard

Oops. This isn't going to generate heated discussion at all. :)

One can only hope for calmer, reasoned heads in a new smaller community. While this might have some short-term benefits for a subset of the gaming population; long term this will be nothing but detriments. Larger companies, getting larger and consolidating their markets has never come with long term benefits for consumers across any industry; and I do not expect gaming to be any exception.

TBH when this was announced I was fully expecting little to no resistance to it given prior history; so I'm pleasantly surprised that at the very least some real effort is having to be put in.
