Marvel's biggest problem was honestly that Disney was too hands-off. Their decline started before they were bought, it's why they were going bankrupt. They left those same losers in editorial in charge and here we are.


And hey, lookit that, poor management happens to be Xbox's specialty.

You must be really popular in the downtown LA comedy club circuit 🤣
Literally what's going to happen. The judge won't grant the preliminary injunction. We all already knew that the FTC doesn't have a chance to stop this. We can all agree on that.
And then Microsoft is going to close the deal and ignore the CMA.
Even Kyle Bosman mentioned it here:

It's Joever.
ABK will be a Microsoft company in ~ 2 weeks.

MS cannot decide that on its own. It's clear from the contract that the deal definitely requires CMA approval, and right now Bobby doesn't seem to want to go that route. There are reliable reports of behind-the-scenes disagreements between the parties. So I don't think Activision will take this train because the risk is far too big and the hands would still be tied, for example when it comes to negotiating new contracts.

A new low for ResetEra's moderation.

Sniping who? Antagonizing who? How? By just saying there are people cheering for the acquisition there (and there are)?

That forum is dying a painful death, compromised by MS astroturfers and agents a long time ago. A true Orwellian hellscape for anyone who doesn't lick the taint of a near $3 trillion conglomerate's push to consolidate major chunks of the gaming industry just to "compete".
