I think the CMA will see straight through it.. this is just more posturing to feed the narrative because they know it’s as good as dead.
Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
And it was discovered they are in Romania but they changed it this week for this deal with MS
TBF, he's getting obliterated in the replies.
The people on Reset in that thread in blind support for the acquisition aren't particularly smart individuals.

So they're lying about their base of operation? Just because it'd look more politically advantageous to claim they're Ukrainian?
This is actually disgusting? ResetERA doesn't care about this exploitation?
Someone tweet this to the CMA!And it was discovered they are in Romania but they changed it this week for this deal with MS

I guess; feels like such a borderline semantics type of thing to distinguish, but I understand why they did it. Makes MS seem more willing to provide content to "large" cloud gaming providers, something that's been brought up as a concern by regulators.
Genuinely don't feel Boosteroid meets those qualifications though. 4 million users isn't very much. AFAIK you still have to own the game anyway like with GeForce NOW.
Someone ask that Era thread how allowing Microsoft to grab more power in the gaming industry helps Ukraine against Russia.

Oh they're definitely using some tricky wording. They've been doing that throughout this entire process.

Man these names in Portuguese are really bad
Boosteiroid reads like "lot of shit/feces" (Bosta = shit/feces, Bosteiro = Bad-spoken, who uses dirty words, Bullshiter in Portuguese BR)
FedorovMykhailo reads like "stinky/bad smell Myhhailo" (Fedor = stinky/bad smell in Portuguese BR)
I know the translation/meaning of the words but it is really weird when similar writting in your native means something else completely.
The company should change the name in Brasil.

That Florian character is really stretching today to try to play "Bad Sony" to his followers:
It's already well-established how biased he is. And Sony aren't the ones trying to convince regulators to let them buy a publisher, so Sony music's record isn't really relevant.

From Idas:
The deal is a trojan horse and companies agreeing with it are stupid since it's temporary.
I don't think CMA will accept it.
Yep, they're committing to a fake 10 year deal and hoping people (and CMA) forget about it by the end of it.

If there's a lot of overlap between the customer base of the services they have signed deals with, I don't see how that increases the numbers in the eyes of the CMA even if they were more open to behavioral remedies. It's also pretty ridiculous imo for MS to insist on these same behavioral remedies.

Decided to browse ERA. It seems they realized these deals for CoD are empty promises lol
Willing to bet those who do are a minority.

Most pretty much, yeah. They're coping hard and are annoyed that the CMA wants to be a global regulator. But it seems they've come on terms with it.
