The Official Response From Microsoft to the FTC’s Blocking of Activision Blizzard Takeover

Microsoft has stated its official position on the blocking of Activision Blizzard's acquisition by the FTC in a message posted to The Verge.

Microsoft has officially responded on the record to the FTC’s decision to block Activision Blizzard’s acquisition by taking it to court, via Brad Smith, company vice president, who posted an official note to The Verge news outlet.

Smith: “We continue to believe that this deal will expand competition and create more opportunities for gamers and game developers. We have been committed from day one to addressing competition issues, even offering earlier this week to make concessions at the FTC’s proposal. While we believe peace deserves a chance, we have full confidence in our positions and look forward to illustrating them in court.”

Adding some context to the situation was Frank X. Shaw, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of communications, who published a link on Twitter to a document discussing how Microsoft is committed to growing the gaming community.

It remains the case that for now the FTC seems to have espoused Sony’s position that the acquisition of Activision Blizzard poses a risk to the video game market, in spite of continued reassurances from Phil Spencer and his people.

What do you think about all this? How this deal is going to end up? Will Microsoft be able to close the deal and buy Activision Blizzard? Let us know about your thoughts in the comments section below.
