FTC ne parvient pas à bloquer l'accord Activision Blizzard de Microsoft

Auteur：Kristen Mise à jour：May 12,2025

Microsoft a atteint une autre étape importante dans sa quête pour acquérir Activision Blizzard, surmontant un défi de la Federal Trade Commission (FTC). La 9e Circuit Court of Appeals de San Francisco a rejeté l'appel de la FTC pour bloquer l'acquisition de 69 milliards de dollars de Microsoft de la société derrière la franchise populaire, Call of Duty. Cette décision, prise par un panel de trois juges, confirme la décision de juillet 2023 qui a permis à Microsoft d'aller de l'avant avec l'acquisition, qui a été annoncée à l'origine fin 2022, selon Reuters.

L'acquisition est sous surveillance depuis plus de trois ans, attirant l'opposition de divers quartiers, y compris certains sénateurs américains qui ont été parmi les premiers à exprimer des préoccupations. Leurs inquiétudes étaient centrées sur la consolidation en cours au sein de l'industrie technologique, d'autant plus que Microsoft, le fabricant de Xbox, a élargi son portefeuille en acquérant les grandes entreprises. Il y avait des craintes parmi les concurrents et les joueurs que cet accord pourrait entraîner des franchises populaires comme Call of Duty étant exclusif aux plates-formes Microsoft. Cependant, Microsoft a rassuré les parties prenantes qu'il n'a pas l'intention de restreindre ces franchises à de longues périodes d'exclusivité.

Le récent appel de la FTC représentait un obstacle potentiel à un stade avancé à l'accord, mais avec son licenciement, il semble que les efforts de la FTC pour bloquer l'acquisition ont pris fin.

Les rumeurs sur Switch 2 suggèrent un "été de Switch 2" l'année prochaine

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
