US competition regulator "likely" to challenge Microsoft-Activision deal
The US' Federal Trade Commission is "likely" to file an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
The report from Politico suggests that while a lawsuit is not guaranteed, and that the FTC's four commissioners have yet to vote on the deal or meet with the two company's lawyers, FTC staff members are "sceptical" of the companies' arguments.
A decision on whether to take the deal to court could be decided as early as next month.
