The Federal Trade Commission complained to a federal appeals court on Wednesday that Microsoft’s layoff of 1,900 employees in its video games division went against its representations in court as it fought to acquire Activision Blizzard. The move undermines Microsoft’s claims that the companies would continue to operate independently, the FTC said, and will make it harder to get “effective relief” if the agency succeeds in its administrative proceeding.
Maybe just prevent MS merging or buying anything ever again until they fix shit. Ultimately, if their assurances aren’t worth shit, any case they put forward cannot be believed, and to the contrary, will likely be unreliable.
If you can, force them to split in certain areas.
