I sortof see where you're coming from, but if MS and Activision want to do this deal, they can just extend the time period, right? Ultimately an agreement between two private companies is not grounds for the government to cave. I actually thought this deal was ok, but the linked Matt Stroller piece has convinced me otherwise.

Extending the deal is quite a big effort, especially when the FTC waited to take action so close to the deadline. It's pretty obvious to me that the timing of this was intentional on the FTC's part, but I could be wrong. I know I would have started conversations and legal action last year if I ran the FTC.
