The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has seen its initial appeal against this week's Microsoft and Activision Blizzard…

US District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, who presided over the main case, rejected the FTC's call for an appeal late last night.

The FTC has also said it is unhappy with how Judge Corley"erred" on matters surrounding subscription access to Call of Duty and on the lack of importance placed on examining deals with cloud gaming rivals.FTC boss Lina Khan was questioned yesterday by US politicians seeking answers on why the regulator had recently notched up a string of losses when dealing with company mergers.

The FTC's persistence has also prompted comment from Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra, who wryly noted that this was"your tax dollars at work".Manage cookie settings
