Sure, but CMA doesn't go to court, so whatever, it's over.

That's actually even worse because the way CMA has answered means ANY other similar huge deal would be rejected too for the same reason (like EA because of Fifa or Take Two because of GTA). Since buying the market was the last chance to turn things around for Xbox and they get destroyed in sales everywhere, I think this time it looks like the end of the road for Xbox. I suspect MS will give up and sell what they can, hence Phil Spencer strange and depressive "I know we suck" interview on Kinda Funny.

The deal is 100% dead. Appealing CMA never works because even if you do and you win (which won't happen since there's no ground to win here as CMA smartly focused on cloud gaming, where the decision was obvious), it goes back to CMA and they have no reason to change their mind.
Absolutely not. The deal will 90% go through. The Cloud Gaming nonsense makes no sense. That's why MS is appealing and why they're going to win.
Activision-Blizzard will be a MS company very soon.

Don't waste your time with these xbots
I'm starting to think some of these xbots accounts forums & twitter are managed by the same person

Shit is so creepy 🤔


Oh that is for sure, they are coordinated and many I am pretty sure are ran by reputation management firms.... then others are just fans happy to do the work for free and given the talking points through the relevant channels. As you say, many of them have multiple accounts...

It's definitely creepy.

They try to distort reality, that's why sales never reflect what seems to be happening online in many sites.

Should be clear by now that twitter and forum folks know nothing.

This :poop: is bizarre.

I wonder from what communication channels they get their marching orders?
