FTC Green Lights BioWare/Pandemic Acquisition

GameSpot is reporting that the Federal Trade Commission has given their blessing to EA’s acquisition of BioWare/Pandemic. Those of you hoping for a miracle are pretty much out of luck:

Though many EA detractors decried the deal, the only official hoop it had to jump through was landing approval from the Federal Trade Commission. Today, the Thomson Financial news service reported that the US government body has given its blessing to the BioWare/Pandemic even before the 30-day period required by federal law expired. Now, barring a stockholder revolt, nothing stands in the way of the acquisition being finalized in January 2008.
