UK online retailer ShopTo is refusing to sell Activision games following a row over Call of Duty: Ghosts, Eurogamer reveals.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
The legal battle between Microsoft and the FTC over the Activision Blizzard acquisition continues. The house of Xbox just scored a major point but the FTC is firing back.
Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.
Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."
Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.
Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.
You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.
This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.
they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
Wow thats pretty dumb of Activision, I've used Shopto plenty of times and I always loved the fact they would send out a games a couple of days early, because it was guaranteed to arrive on release day and I got lucky a few times where it would arrive a day early.
Wanting online retailers to dispatch games only one day before release is dumb, theres a good chance it will not arrive on release date and so many would rather go into their local store and buy it.
Problem is, by doing this. They might lose customers because they can't get the new COD game. So it can hurt them big time or help them.
I see it hurting them more, because I would buy the game somewhere else if are Gamestop didn't get it.
I hate activision.
A very bold move by ShopTo and one of the reasons why they are my first choice for games. I can see why activision are doing it this way though, GAME probably spat out their dummies and cried that people are potentially getting the game a day early and stealing away from their crappy overpriced business.
GO ShopTo Yup im on of them ShopTo gold now silver members. Fantastic service
