I mean...a giant corporation is always going to get what it wants, so I'm not surprised the deal will close. However, the FTC clearly had no idea what they were doing and attacked this case from the worst angle possible by focusing on COD and honestly seemed like their goal was to protect Sony as the market leader rather than protect consumers from Microsoft's eventual future stranglehold on cloud gaming and gaming subscription services
