Uloyiso ngokuchasene neFTC
IKomishoni yoRhwebo yaseUnited States iya kuphelela ekubeni inike uMicrosoft imvume yokugqiba jongana ne-Activision ye-68.700 yeebhiliyoni zeedola, njengoko yayalela ijaji kumyalelo wenkundla owakhutshwa ngoJulayi 11. Ijaji ayifumananga bungqina bokuqinisekisa izikrokro ze-FTC malunga nokurhoxiswa okunokwenzeka kwe-Call of Duty kwi-PlayStation okanye ukuba umxholo we-Activision osezandleni ze-Microsoft uchaphazela kakubi ezinye iinkonzo zefu.
Esi sigqibo sinyanzela i-FTC ukuba ingathinteli iMicrosoft ukuba iqhubele phambili nesivumelwano, okwethutyana, ukusukela kwintlangano angabhena kwakhona de kube nguJulayi 14 ozayo, ngaphandle kokulibala ukuba elinye ityala lokungathembeki elinxulumene nokuthenga liya kubanjwa ngo-Agasti 2.
I-PlayStation izolile
Ngeli xesha, iPlayStation ikhethe ukunganiki naluphi na uhlobo lwengxelo, mhlawumbi ilinde elinye lamaqela amakhulu kule opera yesepha ukuba liwise isigwebo. Kwaye i-CMA kusafuneka inike uluvo lokugqibela kulo mbandela, kwaye yonke into ibonisa ukuba iMicrosoft iya kufumana amanqaku okugqibela.

Ewe, ngokweenkcukacha zamva nje, kubonakala ngathi omabini amaqela azimisele ukuthethathethana. Isitshixo sinokuba kwizivumelwano ezifanayo nezo zifikelelwe kwi-European Union, apho bazibophelele khona ngokuzenzekelayo ilayisensi Activision imidlalo kukhuphiswano iinkonzo yokudlala ilifu iminyaka eli-10 kwihlabathi jikelele, ukuvumela abathengi ukuba bakhethe iqonga abalifunayo.
Ngale ndlela, i-blockade e-United Kingdom okwangoku ikwi-bypass enokuthi itshintshe ikhosi kwiintsuku ezizayo, ngaloo ndlela ivala le nto yokuthenga engapheliyo eyayibonakala ingapheli.
Uloyiso olunokuthandabuza
Nakweyiphi na imeko, kufuneka sikhumbule ukuba i-FTC isenayo inketho yokubhena kwisigqibo, singasathethi ke ngokucaphulwa kwetyala le-antitrust. Izakubanjwa nge-2 ka-Agasti. Izinto zinokutshintsha umbala ngokungalindelekanga kwakhona, ke siza kubona ukuba ziqhubeka njani ezi ntsuku zibalulekileyo zeMicrosoft.
