Xbox's Acquisition Proposal and FTC Dispute: What You Need to Know.

TL;DR Summary
Microsoft's court case against the FTC has led to the exposure of Xbox's internal workings, including its exploration of buying major game developers and publishers such as Bungie and Sega. The FTC is trying to prove that Microsoft would seek to foreclose PlayStation by degrading or removing Call of Duty and other gaming experiences. However, internal emails suggest that Microsoft recognizes the need to balance its content offering and would keep Sega's franchises multiplatform, delivering them across all gaming platforms. The big Xbox vs. FTC court case will continue for a few more days this week, with a decision likely to come shortly after.
