I've given up on Activision/Blizzard. The company's creative talent is held hostage by a combination of former cow milkers who have discovered the largely unregulated business of online teen casinos together with a legion of political correctness zealots who render the creative work devoid of any trace of identity so that it can be marketed to every possible type of audience without offending a single peanut. On an unrelated note, didn't the FTC seek to block the acquisition? https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/12/ftc-seeks-block-microsoft-corps-acquisition-activision-blizzard-inc https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/12/... The WP article says that it's "set to close" rather ambiguously. Sounds like it won't actually close?

> On an unrelated note, didn't the FTC seek to block the acquisition? The FTC has to file suit in court to attempt to block the acquisition. Until that's done and the court actually sides with the FTC, everything regarding the acquisition is likely to basically proceed as scheduled. The FTC doesn't just get to say no the acquisition and be done with it.
