Microsoft’s Activision buyout could reportedly be approved by the FTC as soon as next month.

There are some caveats to this, however. As the FTC’s guidance on the process points out, both companies have to provide the required information before the 30-day countdown can begin.

“Typically, once both companies have substantially complied with the Second Request, the agency has an additional 30 days to review the materials and take action, if necessary,” it says.has provided its share of the requested information yet – if not, the 30-day window will presumably only start when it does.

Once the FTC has received the information from both companies, there are three potential outcomes. The FTC could either:Negotiate with the companies to add some agreed rules that will make sure the market stays competitive

Maybe they can cure activision 🥺🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏼

Why are people worried about them doing any exclusivity for activision blizzard games,when they already told the ftc that they are still gonna make all activision blizzard games available on Playstation no matter what,and in the future they will still be multiplat.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Would make sense to do it before MW2 drops,because next yr there is no COD

Good wrap the shit up and go back to just making games and hope they don’t fail

whats this mean?

Nice

Guitar hero guitar hero guitar hero

Cool so will that mean I wont need to purchase the next COD

Todos pelean por como se desarrolla la industria solo deben tener en cuenta que mientras mas estudios de desarrollo compre cada compañía podríamos pagar mas dinero por los video juegos en el futuro.

So what you’re saying is they’re waiting till after overwatch 2 drops to get as many sales and pre orders then put it on gamepass for free

Good want gamepass to get all of those games.

The sooner the better they can cleanse this monstrosity

I hope the purchase of Activision Blizzard means a 'world of warcraft' for consoles, i'm a fan of the story of WoW, i think it deserves a place in consoles like xbox, so when i buy a xbox i can play it

You wish hahhahaa

MS just can’t seem to create their own games so they just buy all available studios.

Fire Kotick. Preferably out of a cannon.

MW2 on gamepass?

They are going fast with the purchase but there are still more organizations that most will reach an agreement in September. that the purchase is not finalized yet, but the FTC is the biggest obstacle, so removing it immediately is a good sign

there goes wow for switch

I really hope they make campaign modes out of most of these games

Speed it up so we can get Modern Warfare 2 on Game Pass please ❤️

Where the f are the game Xbox?

HoegLaw will you have a video on this?

Cool 👍

That would be really fast.

Good for the employees of Activision Blizzard.

We're all most excited for candy crush let's be real

Go away UK lol

noooooo FTC tell greedy Activision to suck it by rejecting it

Phil Spencer please in the name of sanity fire the entire executive board of Blizzard and Activision and find new Board Members please. Please!

All the comments under this are making me laugh. All the fanboys sure came to play and clearly none of them can read XD

Microsoft slowly becoming the Disney of video games.

Approve it already so everyone can turn the page.

But but but I thought it was going to get blocked

Yup once MS takes COD off Playstation Sony will go bankrupt

🤞🤞🤞

Does that mean we may get some CODs on game pass?

Eu hasn't agreed yet nor has china, this is basically a click bait post.

meh

PrestigeIsKey

As long as this means Activisions and Blizzards stuff is on Gamepass that merger can't happen soon enough.

Cod will be exclusive to us xbox players next year goodbye ps bots

Los ponys

Someone is going to have to help me find a XboxSeriesX

Bad news for all true gamers.

El_Locon_Gamer se viene la confirmación al parecer

Making literally no games I care about.

Someone in FTC is now much richer😅And Bobby will still be king

Oh no... they got candy crush!!

Keep throwing shit on wall, it wouldn’t stick. They are making these predictions because PlayStation n Bungie got approval

🤤

Go FTC

I could see Microsoft acquiring EA next, after the Activision/Blizzard acquisition. Because there could be a possibility that the IP's by EA can have a marketing deal with Xbox only some games can have a marketing with PlayStation.

That means call of duty will be on Game Pass this year

I’m surprised that early ABK games haven’t been added to Gamepass. When Xbox/Bethesda was announced we got a bunch of titles to Gamepass.

Not sure why so many sites are running with this when the UK have said they aren't approving it until September

Wouldn't be surprised to see MWII on Gamepass this year.

Not good. I hope companies like MS or Sony dont buy every other around. We always will lose because of monopoly;

I just really hope MS open up some of those games that haven't seen the light of days in years!

If that's true, I'll finaly replay prototype 2. Then I'll expirience the greatness in ol' call of duty games. (they also have an Barbie game, not that im interested but it seems like fun. The game's from the 80s or 90s)

And still no games 🤦🏽

Cool, when is the wraith pre patch?

nice

Oooh nice candy crush on GAMEPASS? Easy points

🔥🥂🍾

The sooner the better.

AlanKelly96_ game pass is getting fatter son

So if it does that means we're gonna get MWII on gamepass?

Good news for all gamers

Can't wait for THPS 1+2 Remakes to drop in Game Pass 🤘

Les gooooooooo
