We got PLENTY to looking forward to as long first party games are concern in a few weeks, therefore we don´t NEED Activision/Blizzard games, since those would be just the icing on the cake.
You, on the other hand... well... let´s just say, for now, that you won´t have many first party games to play for a couple years. At least, of course, your favorite company has something secret yet to be revealed.
So far the deal has been approved by the regulators in charge of 39 countries with a collective population size of more than 2.4 billion, crazy to think the main opposition is my little island of 67 Million lol.
Is it, though? It's that really the reason? Do we know that?
I tend to believe the UK has a more comprehensive approach than other western counterparts. At the very least, they run circles around the US in education. Asia I feel doesn't really care one way or the other since ABK's acquisition (or even presence) is less consequential on those markets.
Looks like people are looking for a reason other than the CMA given response. Let's ignore all the lobbying Microsoft did everywhere to get it passed, especially in the U.S., let's just find that one scape goat of a reason we can for the CMA
That's no true. Sony is actually in competition with MS, while ms/apple/meta/Google/tesla/ Pfizer/coco-cola are all controlled by one company(black rock) that wants to control everything. Now they are the real threat to us all.
By your Logic, if Black Rock were that powerful and wanted MS to own Act/Blizz I feel it would be relatively easy for them to get that done, unless you are also saying that the UK are the only ones standing against the massive tide that you claim Black Rock is, while every other country of economic importance has cleared this because they are **checks notes** controlled by black rock? Interesting, now I really wanna see how this play out.
At this point, who gives a crap. Street Fighter 6 has just released to critical acclaim and people are still on about this? And yes the game is on XBOX so please go support Capcom. Its a cracker month, Final Fantasy in a mere 21 days, who has time for this nonsense???
Can I be honest with you? It’s totally irrelevant. This acquisition will not change things for XBOX. It’s too exhausting fighting with zealots over this all the time. I’m rather going to put my energy towards the slew of games coming out and commenting on those.
Sigh one last time. They don’t need to prove anything. They rendered their decision and it’s now up to an appeal body called the CAT that can only RECOMMEND that they reassess based from another angle. Kindly Google successful appeals to CMA. If it doesn’t go through yay. If it does then yay happy for you guys and your three year or so wait.
Ok I’m done now. Will see you guys on the FF16, Spider-Man, Metal Solid Delta and Death Stranding 2 articles.
Yo the deal pretty much pass in all of Asia with no remedy needed lol next is the FTC which they going to lose in court or just bow out the way.

Great! Now we just need the North to clear it. C'mon Phil, go see Kim and chuck a Series X his way, he'd appreciate that.
All part of the plan. Elite wins gamers lose. Believe it or not, Ms and Sony are into together to own everything.
