Microsoft has accused the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) of violating its fifth amendment rights to due process by blocking its attempted acquisition of Activision-Blizzard.

The FTCearlier this month attempting to block the deal, arguing the $69 billion deal — the largest in the history of the video games industry — would allow Microsoft to suppress competitors to the Xbox console, its subscription games business, and its cloud-based games business.

Now, Microsoft has fired back with a response, saying the FTC is violating their fifth amendment rights to due process. While the basis of the FTC’s lawsuit is that Microsoft’s deal will suppress the competition by limiting access to certain titles, Microsoft’s response claims that “Xbox wants to grow its presence in mobile gaming, and three-quarters of Activision’s gamers and more than a third of its revenues come from mobile offerings.” The FTC does not appear to be concerned with this and instead focuses on the fact that Microsoft will own one of the largest game franchises in the world: Call of Duty.

Cry me a friggin river!

Breakup big tech

Microsoft really needs to focus on its core business and products that have significant bugs and stop trying to buy more it can’t support

This should be interesting, since they have deep pockets for the legal battle and the same exact legal argument can easily be used by companies in the oil, gas and pipeline business.

Since when does the FTC care about the Constitution?

2nd amendment violation next😆😆😆

That’s rich coming from them lol.

Microsoft who have been violating your first amendment rights say they had their 5th amendment rights violated.. oh no..

Free-speech is limited when it comes to things that can be regulated, like commerce.
