What’s all the doom and gloom about?
First nothing is decided. Second it’s all about an PI. The deal ist still blocked in the USA. Even if the judge denies the PI, the FTC can still appeal this decision. Them we have the fact that CMA is siding with the FTC and maybe in the future Canada + New Zealand. There is still a long way to go for Microsoft until they can but only “maybe” close the deal.
I tell if Microsoft still wins at the end, then Sony will be aggressive in a way we probably never could imagine. Sony already got their FPS/GaaS specialist. Also Firewalk and maybe Deviation Games, which could mark Sony’s future FPS trio.
All what Sony needs to do is buying Square Enix, Capcom and maybe some stakes in TakeTwo, Bandai and Konami if Microsoft should get Activision Blizzard approved after all. But who knows how things will turn out in a couple of months. Again nothing is lost.
