Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard

[Eternal_Wings]

Imagine losing bidding wars ... in their own home turf.

Like just the Sony Group buying SE would be easy since it will not be under any scrutiny.

It’s always the same with this buffoons, they repeating the same shit for years. Sony did overbid Tencent and Microsoft on Bungie and that was in America. Sony will always get the acceptance over a western company. As if Microsoft never attempted to buy all of Japan’s legacy publishers. Remember when Phil Spencer was visiting from 2019 until 2022 Japan? This was not just for porting games to Xbox, that Mfer tried to buy Japanese pubs.

Yea also after Sharp-Foxconn shenanigan, the government basically enforce the law to prevent any foreign firms from investing to Japanese firms with market cap above 500 billion yen?(Not sure about this part)

There is a list for this, if any firms interested in being bought by foreign, they would direct them to Japanese firm.

I found it.

Microsoft Corp. and Activision Blizzard Inc. are considering giving up some control of their cloud-gaming business in the UK as a way to appease regulators so they can complete their $69 billion merger by the July 18 deadline, according to people familiar with the matter.
That could involve selling off the cloud-based market rights for games in the UK to a telecommunications, gaming or internet-based computing company, said the people, who asked not to be named discussing confidential planning. A private equity company might also be interested, said one person.

If true and the CMA accepts this, it’s safe to say that regulators are dead.
Completely useless at this point.

Then 1 year later MS buys said unnamed company. We all know how this ends. Besides if it's COD like people are thinking all they have to do is change the name of the next one. There's loopholes they can easily exploit. Plus the fact that Halo is more then likely going to be handed to them.

Seems extremely desperate and last minute.
MS could’ve made all kinds of concessions and THATS what they come up with? Idk what’s going to happen but that seems weak to me.

I said on Neo that the story about CMA accepting a deal was likely leaked early and the CMA tried to play it off by saying they're still early in negotiations.

They said a high bar months ago now it's lowered lol.

this is lower than low. It’s a race to the bottom.
Ridiculous to even consider. But then again…

Ftc are joke

 

[DForce]

Wait, I can't read the article. Maybe it's just what the MS offered and that's it.. I don't know if it talks about what they're going to accept.

Of course the judge isn't going to grant a stay of her own ruling, it'd be admitting she's wrong(which she obviously is). Next step is filing the stay with the appeals court.

 

[Eternal_Wings]

Lol

 

[anonpuffs]

Lol

Very plainly showing that she has no legal grounds to stand on. If she was being legit she'd show which standards the FTC motion failed to meet to be granted a motion to stay. Instead this is basically "I got nothing, but fuck you anyway"

 

[Entropi]

The same judge?

 

[anonpuffs]

The same judge?

Yeah. You file the motion to stay at the trial court, if it fails then you can file it at the appellate court.

 

[AshHunter216]

Yeah. You file the motion to stay at the trial court, if it fails then you can file it at the appellate court.

Interesting, didn't know that's how it works. I was about to say that they should have known that she wasn't going to grant it.

Had no doubts, once i saw this morning that it was the same judge i said fuck it, just let this one go FTC, you tried.

My guess is that PlayStation has something planned. Jim probably didn't go to the trial in person because he knew it was a lost cause and already moved on to plan B.

Ignorant asshead will never admitted she makes mistakes.
