FTC could still throw a wrench into Microsoft’s deal to buy Activision Blizzard

A federal judge ruled in favor of Microsoft yesterday, finding that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s lawsuit to block the company from purchasing Activision Blizzard didn’t adequately prove the deal would harm competition in the gaming market. But the FTC could still have its way by filing an appeal.

The FTC is “leaning toward” appealing the ruling, according to a report from Bloomberg, and that appeal could come as soon as today, July 12.
