Comment on The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs

The actual fuck did they think was gonna happen? Literally everyone saw this coming except the FTC somehow I guess.
The FTC knew it was coming, and tried to stop the merger. But they got shot down in the courts, because a judge believed Microsoft was going to be benevolent and not immediately lay off all of the acquired company’s employees.
This is the FTC’s way of publicly slapping the judge.
I’m sure the judge is losing sleep over this…
The FTC tried to stop the merger, it’s not their fault. Blame the courts.

The FTC argued this would happen, it’s the court that swallowed Microsoft’s tripe. This is the FTC’s “I told you, bro!”
