A group of US senators has expressed concern at the possibility of a windfall payout for controversial Activision Blizzard boss Bobby Kotick, as part of Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of his company.
The FTC is currently examining the details of Microsoft’s proposed $68bn deal to buy Activision Blizzard, which is expected to be finalised next year.
The letter goes on to state that any deal which negatively impacted workers should be opposed by the FTC.
Four politicians, including former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, signed a letter to the Federal Trade Commission alerting it to the issue, The Wall St Journal has reported.
