Surely they’ll just close though, right?
I was just perusing for new news and then, out of nowhere, they just smackdown the appeal.

Depends if they have something cooking with the CMA or not
Either way it’s either closing in the next few days or in a few weeks
They can, especially with extension, which is actually good news since it highly suggest they’re working things out.
I think that’s what the meeting on the 17th could before, maybe CMA is going to allow them to close while they review the new deal?
I can only hope.

Hey, maybe GwG will finally be good again ![]()
FTC really went for the most humiliating way to lose this

My guess is that they’ll have things settle down and setup everything to release the games in Game Pass. Maybe early August but I would save it for Gamescom.
Get f’ed FTC. Enjoy your budget decrease. Probably the only way to force them to take on worthwhile cases.
The worst week ever…so far…
The biggest loser is Sony out of this, there is absolutely no incentive for MS to release anything on their platform except for COD after all this debacle. Sony will have to give their future consoles early now to if they want to have COD to develop on there.

Wait. What happened? Did we hear from the 9th circuit already?
Damn I was about to post that.
I highly doubt that Microsoft is closing any later than the existing merger agreement deadline at this point. You don’t keep citing the urgency of that date including in the filings with the 9th Circuit if it doesn’t have merit. CMA has nothing to stand on at this point, so they will gladly accept any “win” they can get even if finalized in the several weeks after closing.
