The drama over the Activision Blizzard buyout continues and gamers are more involved than ever. Over the past few days, the community has criticized the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for its stance on the case.
Many believe that the regulator has not done its job well since, from their perspective, it has focused on defending Sony and PlayStation's interests rather than protecting consumers. So some gamers decided to mock the FTC and change their logo to the PlayStation logo on Wikipedia.
Gamers use Wikipedia to mock the FTC
Criticisms of all kinds of the FTC can be read on social networks. Most of them oppose the regulator's appeal, as they consider that the move no longer makes sense. Some gamers accused the agency of only defending PlayStation tooth and nail.
Someone decided to mock the agency and edited its Wikipedia page to send it a message. Shortly after the regulator upheld their appeal attempt, someone replaced their banner with the PlayStation logo.
Some of their information was also edited to state that Jim Ryan, head of Sony Interactive Entertainment, is actually the chairman of the FTC. To top it off, it was indicated that the regulator's website is actually Sony's official website.
These moves generated some confrontation on Twitter, where gamers discussed the FTC's work, the statements it made in its attempt to block Activision Blizzard's purchase and Ryan's role in the case.
Some of the community saw it only as curious, while some gamers see it as an accurate representation of what the FTC and Sony have done throughout the entire buyout process. Below you can see the modifications that were made and are now corrected:
