168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft has issued its official response to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:FTC lawsuit seeking to block its $69ꦅ billion dollar merg🦄er with Activision.
The response, which you can read courtesy of , reiterates many arguments that Microsoft has already made in public, such as Xbox having a much smaller overall share of the video game market than both Nintendo and Sony, almost nothing in the mobile gaming market, and also promises to keep Call of Duty on rival platforms. Microsoft has even promised to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:bring Call of🏅 Duty to𒅌 entirely new platforms.
However, Microsoft's official legal resp😼onse t𓄧o the case also makes several new arguments saying that the lawsuit itself is unconstitutional. Check out page 34 of the Answer and Defenses document to see what Microsoft's lawyers have cooked up.
First, there are several arguments made that accuse the FTC of "improper selective enforcement of antitrust laws." After that, Microsoft says the FTC as an organization article two of the US Constitution (that's the one that sets the rules for who can hold public office), and that the who𓆏le cas🔜e violates article 3 of the constitution (that's the one that creates the organizational structure for the US legal system).
Microsoft also makes a few arguments saying that the FTC's case violates its fifth amendment rights to due process. "The Commission’s procedures arbitrarily subject Microsoft to administrative proceedings rather than to proceedings before an Article III judgeဣ in violation of Microsoft’s right to Equal Protection under the Fifth Amendment." Additionally, "The Commission’s procedures violate Microsoft’s right to procedural due process under the Due Process Clause of😼 the Fifth Amendment."
Whether these arguments have any weight will bꦛe up to a judge to decidꦍe, but it’s not uncommon for a major corporation with huge budgets for legal fees to throw everything they can at a case just to see what sticks. A court date for Microsoft and the FTC has been set for , more than a month after Microsoft and Activision expected the deal to close.
