Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
I'm shocked that it was British that did anything considering their Government
CMA probably dropped console concerns so an appeal can’t happen? That report from a couple days ago mentioned something about the CMA setting up a decision to prevent an appeal. Everybody assumed it had to do with Sony.
Crying PR words. Appeals hardly ever have successful outcomes. Especially with the issues with this market the deal blocked for.
Stick to 'murica hoeg. Just because you're used to our dogshit legal structure doesn't mean other places don't have common sense.
EC will deal the death blow to Microsoft. They will 100% join FTC and CMA. Microsoft is done for.
It's good that even governments are finally starting to fear big tech a little bit. Fuck those gigantic companies that want to own everything.
I didn't care much about this deal but when Bobby and Nadella went on TV to threaten the UK and then later started to talk some mad nonsense about Japan, I wanted it stopped. They just have no class.
Would be the best news for the gaming industry, Microsoft has bought nothing but trouble from day 1
i am sure you said 6 months, not one month.
How long before people outside this forum admit that he's biased? It's also going to be funny to see how hardcore super astroturfer Florian Mueller responds.
The worst deal in gaming history.
From ERA:
Yeah, dude, the writing was on the wall. This was never going through, the bots deluded themselves.
We told them and got banned as a result.

I don't think so. The reason for not blocking the deal due to console SLC was that they believed Microsoft's bullshit that they wouldn't take games out of PS since it would substantially decrease revenue (CoD). They bought the same BS the EC bought with Bethesda.
Doesn't Microsoft still have to go to some UK gaming event today?
- ABK deal blocked
- MS having to pay ABK half of what they paid to get Bethesda.
- 30% decrease in hardware sales.
- Pathetic service growth
- 30 fps games
- Under performing hardware getting beat by an overclocked 8TF RDNA 1.5
The only way this gets funnier is if Sony already made move to counter the ABK deal in case it did pass.
Fuck Don Mattrick, he needs to go!
Someone mentioned earlier that investors on either side might decide that continuing to fight for this merger isn't worth it after the deadline passes in the summer.
