Two soldiers preparing for battle in the new Halo Infinite winter update

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has begun its appeal against a recent court ruling in favor of Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard.

Microsoft's intended acquisition of Activision Blizzard has come under a great deal of scrutiny from governments the world over. Despite this, Microsoft won its battle with the FTC, a federal judge ruling in favor of the legality of the acquisition. However, despite Judge Corley's ruling, the FTC has filed a full notice of appeal, in an attempt to commence steps towards reversing the decision.
