This week's the week. Oooft, the tension!

Eh nvm

I think the EU will take MS side, but the CMA's decision lessens the impact of what they do imo.

 

[Swift_Star]

The deal will remain dead regardless of what the EU rules.

The deal will remain dead regardless of what the EU rules.

Yeah, but it would be annoying if the EU approves. It would embolden that side to keep arguing and shilling for this deal for yet ANOTHER YEAR when there was a chance to make this end.

as long as MS loses more gaming relevance, I couldn’t care less… it’s their choice, in the end.

EU Blazes Own Path on Microsoft-Activision Deal​

Welcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg’s daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union.

Microsoft’s $69 billion deal for Activision Blizzard is expected to be approved by the EU’s competition enforcers today, just weeks after the UK’s watchdog moved to block the record-breaking gaming merger. Commission approval — which is slated to be announced today but could be confirmed anytime before the May 22 deadline — comes after Microsoft made commitments to open Activision’s game library to rival platforms for a 10-year period. Alongside UK opposition, the US Federal Trade Commission also sued to block the merger. EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager has maintained that different regulators may reach different conclusions on Microsoft’s largest-ever acquisition.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Worst news ever, for Microsoft, if it emboldens them to fight the CMA.

Let's watch.

Blazing their own path to waste time.

Deal ain’t happening without the CMA.

 

[Dick Jones]

What does it say here that we didn't already know?

It's referring to the previous article that said the EC will go for it. The article in question is the one with the source prior to the CMA decision. It's nothing, literally nothing

 

[Swift_Star]

What does it say here that we didn't already know?

Nothing. It’s a rehash from march news.

What this mean? That deal is more dead deadier than dead?

 

[Swift_Star]

What this mean? That deal is more dead deadier than dead?

It means that if the EC approves, MS will fight tooth and nail against the CMA, making them lose money, time and gaming relevance, since they're forgetting about XGS and focusing solely on the acquisition. They'll lose years of valuable time fighting for a doomed deal, because, it doesn't matter what they do, the CMA won't budge.

Announce the blockage before I piss me-self!
