It feels like this forum wrote that article.That last paragraph, though, holy fuck
Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
this guy surely reminds me of Logan Roy of Succession.That last paragraph, though, holy fuck
The only new thing in the article is this bit.
He didn't directly backpeddle his comments, but i'm sure he knows how much continued attacks on the UK is gonna backfire.
Microsoft’s chief hissy fit-thrower has decided he likes Britain after all
The CMA’s level-headedness has stood in stark contrast to Brad Smith’s fiery outburstswww.telegraph.co.uk
Wow, I love it!
If only we could get an award to the person who wrote that article. I do fear that the XBox crowd will try and doxx him / attack him etc though. That would be the routine for them.
So when is the real exciting news coming to shareholders voting if they extend or dismiss the deal? Deadline is end of June?
Until then there is nothing exciting. CMA will very likely not change their mind. So this CAT/MS and CMA trial is boring news.

I see. It looks like they're hoping to do really well at Monday's hearing in order to try and shift things back in their favor. Between their upcoming showcase and this deal MS really want this to be the year that everything starts to shift in their favor. Very unlikely that happens though.
Current deadline is July 18th. MS seem really keen on trying to make things go in their favor before then, which seems to imply that they're not confident about getting another extension past that date otherwise.
So it looks like the CMA has decided to get in on the tabloid game? The drones at Reee are besides themselves weeping and gnashing of teeth type antics.
Yeah possibly. Only problem is what his done is out there now and i can't see him fooling people in the appeal process.
CMA no doubt are aware of microsofts behaviour, considering CMA responded to the times article about them being closed for business, they are keeping awareness of all the MS led FUD being thrown at them.
Even worse is the CAT judge may be aware of it. If he isn't CMA may end up bringing it up in the case management hearing or trial to expose microsofts contempt for regulators.
The best way to summerise this:
MS: "If you don't approve of the acquisition, we will make your country suffer by dropping out of UK. We will not be denied!"
CMA: "Do it, you pussy"
MS: "Guys...it was just a prank, I am sorry. Please
"
MS: "If you don't approve of the acquisition, we will make your country suffer by dropping out of UK. We will not be denied!"
CMA: "Do it, you pussy"
MS: "Guys...it was just a prank, I am sorry. Please
"
if MS can do it, the CMA can too.
Era really thinks the CAT will throw the cloud’s SLC away. Even if it happens, the CMA will still block the deal on other grounds or reach the same conclusion. 
That seems very unlikely. Even regulators like the EU that approved the deal think the cloud is a separate market worth being concerned with. Apparently someone on Gaf who listened to the last hearing said the judge appeared dismissive of Microsoft's claims about the cloud market not being distinct in his comments.Era really thinks the CAT will throw the cloud’s SLC away. Even if it happens, the CMA will still block the deal on other grounds or reach the same conclusion.

It comes from there misreading of what the judge actually wanted. He wanted a definition of cloud gaming and wasn't coming to a conclusion.Era really thinks the CAT will throw the cloud’s SLC away. Even if it happens, the CMA will still block the deal on other grounds or reach the same conclusion.
No doubt the judge will be catching up on the details in the next few weeks.
But the fact that he has no understanding right now and we are only a few weeks away from the actual trial, seriously tells me that he will be very reluctant to go against the CMA definition. I mean CMA have been investigating this case close to a year and quite in depth, judge has much less time.

The CAT appears to not be happy with people taking screenshots of the stream out of context in order to push false narratives.
Good. Put the heat on these shills. MS can get Rekt.

Precisely what SenjutsuSage is doing on Installbase.
