“The FTC withdrew its request after courts did not find their anti-trust compelling to block the merger”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquisition_of_Activision_Blizzard_by_Microsoft
My article is from 3 days ago. When was your source in Wikipedia from?
EDIT: From your own source
So they withdrew their challenge in July and stated they would refile. They did refile in September, and are currently appealing a decision to allow the merger by a judge as of Dec 6th.
The FTC has been actively fighting this merger every step of the way and has yet to stop.
The deal has already closed. I wish them luck.
It's not fully "closed," no matter what Microsoft claims. Its been approved by a lower court judge, and the FTC are currently appealing that judgement.
Fighting the merger in court 3 separate times sure is different than "letting Microsoft buy Activision" though, isn't it?
