    This isn’t a new swing, this is a last ditch effort. They’ve already been absolutely embarrassed in court over this case, basically laughed out.

    FTC: Microsoft owning COD will give them a monopoly!!! Poor sony will be run out of business!!! Won’t somebody think of Sony!!!

    Sony: nah we’re good even if we lose COD. We don’t think they would take it from us anyway because we make them the most money.

    All other publishers: Nah this deal is great for us as if they did take cod away it makes it easier for us to sell our games.

    Nintendo: this deal is great for us as we’ll now get more games for our players.

        They were and they weren’t. They literally said they don’t think Microsoft would make COD exclusive like the FTC were saying they would, and that they would be absolutely fine if Microsoft were to buy them and make all games exclusive, unlike the ftc said, but they wanted to stop the deal because of course they do, Microsoft are a competitor.

        I’m saying that even Sony disagreed with the FTCs reasons for challenging the acquisition.
