Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

[FatKaz]

He is really down.

Watched his video.

One of the reason reason his shocked and i hear quite a few acquistion cheerleaders are also shocked about is "oh well microsoft made deals with nvidia and boosteroid blah blah blah"

Which really shows they were fed continual lies and never actually looked at the cmas concerns in depth and their outlook on remedies.

Even though last week i was putting the chances of this deal to being appoved to be higher due to multiple reputable sources hinting towards that.

I was sitting in bewilderment on how can the CMA even do this? Behavioural remedies and microsofts flimsy deals clearly aren't what the CMA would usually accept so what the hell changed?

Isn't the same scammers who change their address from romania to Ukraine to score some pity points?

Same. Imagine using suffering for your corporate PR bullshit. They need to be shut down based on that only. Disgusting.

Some deluded folks in era believe that will be regulations over 3rd party deals lmao
talk about being delusional.

Are we surprised that a Ukrainian scam company is in Microsoft’s pocket? Who’s next to go to bat for MS? Blackrock and Zelenskyy??

I like how their logo is Kirk’s enterprise. Wonder when they’ll be sued.

@ChorizoPicozo we told you the deal would get blocked.

I still remember the first time I heard about the potential $3B they would have to pay Activision and I thought to myself, hum... that would be the most Xbox thing ever if MS ended up having to pay that. The fact the cost of all this will be similar to what Sony paid for Bungie is just poetic.

The only way this could get sweeter is if Sony buy a massive publisher and it sales though.

As Steve Jobs once said, MS just keeps coming back. They will find studios they can buy without the hassle of regulators. I hope they just leave the big ones alone after taking some many Ls.

On some browsers you can take a screenshot (webshot) and you can paste it straight here. Or, take a screen grab using Snipping Tool and upload it from your computer/mobile.

Well, if anyone knows about being bought and paid for, it’s Florian.

Not many great studios out there that would be significant gets tho and Sony could show up to the table for any of those smaller acquisitions.

The whole advantage of MS having a lot of money goes to waste if they don't have how to spend it and the only way to spent that huge amount is by buying big publishers.

So much, for being fair and objective just another clown.

As long as they don't hoard stablished IPs, I don't care.
