The Federal Trade Commission’s request for an injunction stopping that acquisition heads toward opening arguments this week, the federal regulator cites one piece of what it calls “powerful evidence” that it can’t trust Microsoft’s assurances. In short, as the FTC puts it, “Microsoft’s actions following its 2021 acquisition of ZeniMax speak louder than Defendants’ words.”

    So that’s why Microsoft’s purchase of ZeniMax and then releasing a Xbox exclusive out of the deal

    Did they ever promise that ZeniMax games would not be exclusive? If so, then yeah, that’s pretty shitty.

    but I really hate all of this buying and consolidation of companies, it really needs to stop.

    Hear, hear!

      I’m pretty sure they were super vague and shady with the language they were using when talking about that.
