The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) failed to block a deal between Meta* and Within Unlimited. The District Court of California allowed the company to buy the developers of the Supernatural VR game, Bloomberg reports, citing sources.

On December 20, Mark Zuckerberg appeared in court in the case of the purchase of the VR developer Within Unlimited. The head of Meta* tried to prove that this deal would not make his company a monopolist in the nascent market of fitness games for virtual reality.

The company claims that the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the lawsuit is guided by assumptions and “ignores the facts with the law.”

Bloomberg writes about this with reference to sources close to the company. According to them, Meta* handed over “hundreds of pages” of documents to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) when it informed about the deal, while the regulator itself did not even warn about plans to sue.
