Not sure what's funnier. Getting Perm banned from the acquisition thread, or this post?
CMA and EC are not related.
Also, regulators don't get "embarrassed".

I hate how the discourse around the deal has become, Microsoft is dispatching all fanboys, Xbox ambassadors, influencers & even bot accounts, so many of them to the point you can't see the other sides' thoughts at all, or even if you want to chime in & speak your thoughts, you're already gaslit by them, swaths & swaths of these bootlicking accounts come in pretty hard to sway peoples' thoughts, it's like you can't come up with any thought that doesn't go the way they want, it's absolutely disgusting, it's gotten pretty political, they're thinking that will change the CMA's decision LMAO!!

It will backfire. Sooner or later.

Please do. Let's see how other governments react to something like that. Imagine pulling Windows from one of the top tech markets in the world for something like Xbox. Imagine the impact it would have on their business everywhere and how governments see them.

These people live in their own little fantasies. It's like children playing house, not realizing how the real world works.
The worst part is, most of them are adults. How do you go through life beind that idiotic?

Era is probably going to go into a rage if Sony announces any 3rd party exclusive next week.
Why would Sony stop with the 3rd party exclusives? It's now cheaper than ever since nothing sells on Xbox. If anything it looks like they were hiding their announcement until regulators made their calls.

I'm not saying that they would, I'm just predicting the reactions based on what they've done before. Regulators probably could have already asked them what they had in store. They might have delayed so that MS couldn't use the announcements in the showcase to play the victim in the media before the decisions were made though.
