Microsoft x Activision may well prove the longest playlist on this channel, as the news simply won't stop.

Now, of course, the biggest news possible has happened. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has sued.

Let's talk about it...LIVE.

Quite the stocking stuffer Microsoft has delivered...in Virtual Legality.
