They will get their block on preventing the deal from closing, the threshold for that is very low, all they need to show is that Microsoft is planning on closing the deal, Lol. But a block on preventing the deal closing is temporary, because it then actually goes to federal court instead of FTC's sham internal court where Microsoft and FTC will argue on why the deal should/shouldn't go ahead.
If Microsoft could file it first then the FTC can't block it because it has already closed, instead they'd have to take them to court to break them up.
So basically, FTC will get their temporary injunction to stop the deal from closing but that also means they've just skipped over all their internal court stuff and we're at the federal courts now, and there is no doubt in my mind that Microsoft will win there and that temporary block will be lifted.
If Microsoft and Activision both want to extend then this is the best possible scenario for Microsoft in dealing with the FTC, Lmao.
