Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
Wow. The CMA painting this as something extremely bad. They rarely go the prohibition route, but they did for this one. It makes Microsoft look positively diabolical here.
The narrative those cucks at Reee are proffering in between bouts of watching their beloved Microsoft get fucked from all sides is that if the CMA were confident, they wouldn't defend their stance, they must be shook yadayadayada. If they were silent, it'd be the same story - lack of confidence, not backing it up. Or maybe Reee just prefers to have the false narrative in the media left unchallenged. The last safe space, if you will, for their toxic dreams.
They think the only correct outcome is one where Xbox gets ABK, buys more publishers afterwards and pushes Playstation out of the industry.
Also, yes, I have no doubt they would spin anything the cma does or doesn't do against them.

Sarah Cardell just layed a swift kick to Brad Smiths nuts with this statement.
The call out of the much easier approved Nuance deal and only 1 percent of mergers prohibited just destroys MS’s ‘closed for business’ narrative. And just calling the deal exactly what it is to any sane person - anti competitive.
I was waiting/wondering why the CMA's response to all this nonsense wasnt to point all of the other deals theyve allowed.
I just love the timing aswell.
All the MS desperate antics is giving off the vibe that ABK are getting nervy, and MS possibly putting alot of effort to make things sound "positive" to get ABK to carry on after july 18th.
That presss release right here just deflates that "positivity".
This is the right interpretation. Any suggestion the CMA is feeling pressured or will settle has gone out the window. Remember, vocal support for this deal is just geared at protecting one's investments, even in the case of the insane Mueller.
The usual suspects are absent from the era thread lmao.
Deal is even more dead than before.

They can't. They can, at best, tell the CMA to review their decision. And it's clear the CMA will simply review and conclude the same thing.
The CAT CANNOT throw the Cloud SLC away.
Fuck MS.
They spent a good three years saying their focus was cloud and their competition were Amazon and Google.
It's on them to deal with their own absurdity and presumption.

They could, but MS would have to agree to fewer evidence submissions, which would make things easier for the CMA. The judge isn't likely to change the timeline and I doubt the June 12 hearing will lead to them deciding to rule early.
Isn't it funny how that whole "cloud providers are our competition" schtick came back to bite them in the ass?They can't. They can, at best, tell the CMA to review their decision. And it's clear the CMA will simply review and conclude the same thing.
