Microsoft already has its hands full with the FTC filing a lawsuit to stop the landmark deal - and it looks like the company will get some additional opposition to its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Google and Nvidia have reached out to the US Federal Trade Commission about Microsoft's $69 billion deal to acquire Activision Blizzard.
Sources have shared with Bloomberg that both companies expressed concerns regarding the merger. Google and Nvidia have reportedly warned the FTC that Microsoft would gain an unfair advantage in mobile, subscription, and cloud gaming.
However, Nvidia stopped short of expressing full opposition to the merger. The graphics card maker opted to drive home the importance of having "equal and open access" to games. Large companies like Nvidia might be skirting direct language as a strategic move.
Microsoft has previously made upcoming Bethesda games Starfield and Redfall as Xbox exclusives after purchasing Zenimax in 2021. Sony started its opposition to the deal by calling out Microsoft stating that the company plans to make Call of Duty an exclusive title once the Activision deal gets approved.
