Former Xbox 360 third-party memory card manufacturer Datel is free to pursue its antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft, as a federal judge dismisses the console maker’s attempts to have the case thrown out.
Take-Two has resolved its issues with the Federal Trade Commission, clearing at least one regulatory obstacle for Electronic Arts’ acquisition bid, the company revealed in an FTC filing this morning.
The U.S. District Court of Washington D.C. had asked Take-Two to show why it wasn’t complying with the FTC’s broad-ranging information request as it investigates potential antitrust issues for the possible combination, probably regarding the companies’ sports portfolios.
For its part, Take-Two had claimed that complying with the full scope of the FTC’s requests would have been too expensive and labour-intensive, and asked for “reasonable limits”.
