Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread |OT3| - Sony bends the knee!

It was definitely in a lot of trouble when the CMA rejected it, but then the EU gave it a shot in the arm. If they also rejected it, the deal would have been dead.

Don’t think it was ever dead, but they definitely had some of the biggest regulators against them. They however played the game masterfully, whoever they paid for this did an incredible job and was worth every penny!

OK, do y’all think the FTC will still go ahead with the kangaroo court in August? :joy:

Probably not as the FTC’s appeal will be denied next week and it will be dead.

If Microsoft and ABK close the deal, then the FTC will be forced to attempt to unwind the merger which will take place in US Federal Court. I’ve been saying it for a while now, but ever since the FTC changed their process to make the FTC ALJ be non-binding to the FTC then it shouldn’t be binding to any companies either.

Losers online truly putting all their hopes in CMA now, they are their last hope. So I say, what hope and why? It’s a monopoly they tell me.

How many times must it be said that it isn’t? :joy:

Yeah, the nicest guy (appearance or not) is usually the scariest.
