Microsoft’s announcement about the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard caused some ripples in the community. As the CoD developers were being acquired by the Xbox makers, their competitors made all efforts to stop the deal from going through. Sony left no stone unturned to make sure the acquisition didn’t happen.

Sony’s primary concern was that PlayStation players may be restricted from accessing future Activision titles. Thanks to the PS makers’ persistence, the Federal Trade Commission took Microsoft to court, where they were asked to provide more details on the acquisition.
