The U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s defeat as it sought to block Microsoft Corp.’s acquisition of videogame maker Activision Blizzard is yet another setback for an increasingly toothless regulator that needs to pick better battles with Big Tech.

The IP that goes into Warcraft 3 and thus into WoW is older than 20 years. I mean Warcraft III celebrated 20 years this July. Even WoW itself will become 20 y.o. next year. The first Call of Duty was released nearly 20 years ago too! In October 2003. Nearly all games witch dominate the market have old IP. 10 years is nothing.
PS. I forgot Diablo, 27 years old IP.
