Yesterday America’s Federal Trade Commission said it remained focused on its appeal opposing Microsoft’s deal to buy Activision, reports Reuters. <\/p>\n

Reuters notes that Microsoft and Activision closed their transaction Friday “after winning approval from Britain on condition that they sell the streaming rights to Activision’s games to Ubisoft Entertainment.” But the U.S. Federal Trade Commission “has also fought the deal, and has an argument scheduled before an appeals court on December 6.
