Forbes article dropped as well. It's written by Paul Tassi so you can imagine the contents.
Bloomberg: Sony Tells UK to Force Microsoft Call of Duty Sale or Veto $69 Billion Activision Deal
- Thread starter Unchained

Wouldn't it be better to say sony implore the UK regulators
Regardless of how he comes off as a pompus ass, the guy is one of the best reporters when it comes to his information, and articles he writes on specific things within the gaming sphere.
Guy sometimes has a skewed view of the industry but when he has reports for information on subjects like Activision scandal, guy is usually right. Unlike people like Jez or Grubb who literally try to circle Jason's contacts.
BTW this was not written by jason.
Why are these people not using the right words?
"tells" and "asks" are very different things - Unless they are using Bobby Koticks defense team and terminology. In that case, they may seem them as synonyms.

They're intentionally trying to paint this situation as the CMA doing Sony's bidding.
they used to american order, where that could be the case. CMA just doing a Regulators bidding.
Makes sense that they would ask for this. Specially knowing that MS wouldn't want to sell CoD, so basically Jimbo is asking them to block the deal.
Normal, because Sony would prefer to keep CoD on their console forever and to don't have it as exclusive in a rival game sub.
I think regulators may agree, but I can easily see them approving the deal.

It’s America where media and journalism are messed up and everything American and mega corporations getting bigger is a good thing…
All this is trial by the media.
Seems fair.

Meh Microsoft don't care. Phil said this acquisition is for mobile investment.
I should also resort to name calling you, maybe you’ll like it. You are the one with superiority complex, trashing people for their opinions and how they write. Please stop projecting your crap into others.
I’m not being superior, just stating facts, I’m not even saying European countries are better because they are not. Every country have their issues.
Because American media and journalism does have a much bigger influence into the rest of the world - for better or worse.
How is it so hard to understand?
