    Federal Trade Commission is maintaining its opposition to the deal but it cannot prevent Microsoft and Activision from completing it

    Wasn’t the FTC specifically created to block/prevent corporate mergers to stop companies from becoming too big?

      Yes, but they’re not too big. Microsoft still trails behind Sony in the gaming sphere. The problem was actually over the cloud gaming sphere in which Microsoft do have a much larger share of the pie.
