Activision Blizzard's year of news appearances is almost unbelievable, but perhaps none more so than the announcement that Microsoft and Xbox is purchasing them for just under $70 BILLION in cash.

With so many eyes on the deal, many are making predictions as to just when the deal will close, and how it might look when it does. Analyst Michael Pachter has even predicted the FTC forcing certain issues, but many have asked "Can they do that?".

Sometimes the settlement process costs an "arm" and a leg...in Virtual Legality.
