It was always an uphill battle but this thing about CMA now asking MS for remedy solutions is exactly what all of us knew was gonna happen months ago.

I'm actually surprised at how strongly a lot of people are reacting to this completely expected news.
Stop lying. Scammerlander.

Also some stuff Kotick has been saying...

I like that he paints not supporting PS as "absurd" when MS have already done so with Zenimax. We noticed it, regulators noticed it, and it's become a significant obstacle to the ABK acquisition. And, yes, Sony is trying to stop the acquisition because their business and customers are more important than old Bobby getting a payday.

These people are ridiculous, honestly.
Look at this reach:

Guy is reaching and coping hard with the acquisition that WILL fall through.

The CMA just put together a lengthy document and "coherent argument on why this is bad", but I guess reading is hard for the person you quoted. On another note, the idea being floated around that only MS can "save" ABK employees is absurd and ignores the work the employees have been putting in for quite some time to unionize. Talk about twisting things and all to get more games on Gamepass (which is the most likely reason for most of these people).
