The FTC has moved to appeal the recent court order ruling not to grant the temporary injunction to block Microsoft's Activision Blizzard merger from moving forward. This news comes a mere day after Microsoft won its court battle against the FTC, with the court ultimately ruling that Microsoft's acquisition would not "substantially lessen competition" in the games industry. We discuss the current state of the merger, as well as speculate about life after Microsoft's Activision Blizzard buyout.We'll also be talking about the 20 new physical releases announced at LRG3 2023 (including Castlevania Advance Collection, Clock Tower, Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, and more), how the banned Rainbow Six Siege player who swatted Ubisoft Montreal’s offices in 2020 has finally received their sentence, the new study that says just 13% of video games released before 2010 are commercially available, and the news that New York is getting an Angry Birds café.Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at the history of educational video games.We love our sponsors!
