The FTC formally withdrew its challenge to the acquisition on July 20, 2023, though they have announced their intent to refile at a later time.[78] The FTC reopened its case against the merger on September 27, 2023, though was unable to block the merger from occurring.[79]
So they withdrew their challenge in July and stated they would refile. They did refile in September, and are currently appealing a decision to allow the merger by a judge as of Dec 6th.
The FTC has been actively fighting this merger every step of the way and has yet to stop.
It’s not fully “closed,” no matter what Microsoft claims. Its been approved by a lower court judge, and the FTC are currently appealing that judgement.
Fighting the merger in court 3 separate times sure is different than “letting Microsoft buy Activision” though, isn’t it?
