Microsoft has filed its response to the argument filed by the US Federal Trade Commission to block the company’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. In the 37-page document, which you can read in full below, Microsoft argues its case for why its $68.7 billion acquisition should go through \u2014 it also defends its acquisition of Bethesda owner ZeniMax, while admitting that it’s planning to make three future titles from the company exclusive to Xbox and PC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Microsoft’s filing pushes back against the FTC’s concerns in general, and also addresses the regulator’s specific arguments. It also contains a lot of the trademark self-denigration that Microsoft has become famous for in recent months, as it tries to paint itself as a relatively weak player in the gaming space compared to its competitors. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
