The Federal Trade Commission complained to a federal appeals court on Wednesday that Microsoft’s layoff of 1,900 employees in its video games division went against its representations in court as it fought to acquire Activision Blizzard. The move undermines Microsoft’s claims that the companies would continue to operate independently, the FTC said, and will make it harder to get “effective relief” if the agency succeeds in its administrative proceeding.

Seperate Activision from Blizzard while you’re at it.

Peel Zenimax off and break it further apart.

All these mergers… I’ve yet to see a single one end up with positive outcomes for the consumer, the employee, or really anyone other than the shareholders.

It’s Blizzard in name only. Unmerging won’t magically fix it.
