Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/11/23779039/microsoft-activision-blizzard-ftc-trial-win
From the article, quoting Judge Corley:
… the Court finds the FTC has not shown a likelihood it will prevail on its claim this particular vertical merger in this specific industry may substantially lessen competition. To the contrary, the record evidence points to more consumer access to Call of Duty and other Activision content. The motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DENIED.

I’m pretty convinced that King is a huge part of this for them. People are so focused on the console side of things because of console war nonsense.
Even when Microsoft specifically said as much people chose to ignore it.
Microsoft want to build a mobile game ecosystem. King gets them a huge start to that plan.
