Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard

https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win

From the article, quoting Judge Corley:

... the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

At least they seem to be committed to fixing them. But yeah, with the reputation they have made for themselves, I definitely wouldn't get any of their games at launch without reading lots of reviews. I did pick up Spider-Man at launch because the reviews seemed good, and I thought it was pretty damn solid of a port at launch. I wanted to get TLOU at launch, as I have never been able to play that game. But apparently it was a complete dumpster fire. I guess it has already improved a lot, but I already moved on to other games. I'll get it when it goes on sale.
