    They’re not too happy, and they may even write a strongly worded email expressing their unhappiness.

      You jest, but the FTC is trying to appeal (undo) the merger in court, and this makes their case a lot stronger: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/us-ftc-tries-again-stop-microsofts-already-closed-deal-activision-2023-12-06/

      For a 68,000,000,000$ deal, even if this helps the FTC by 1%, that’s a huge risk

        If they actually managed to, my faith in humanity would be restored a little bit

        You took all that effort to put the zeros and commas in, but put the $ on the wrong side of the number.

        Neat.
