Yeah, a lot of what Pachter says about Microsoft's options in the UK are just blatantly wrong. I'm guessing he just wants to keep his name out there by picking a side in the console war and telling Xbox fanboys what they want to hear.
Microsoft's acquisition of Activison Blizzard
- Thread starter Darth Vader
- Start date
Pachter didn't know what PLC was (publicly listed corporation was his guess). If I said that in my Junior Cert business class, my teacher would throw the blackboard duster at my head, safe in the knowledge that there would be no damage to the brain.
Hoping for something, anything, need to try to paint a narrative no matter how bleak it looks.
It doesn’t mean anything. Sony has nothing to do with the block.
There's also a steady stream of tweaktown articles arguing that the CMA's arguments about who has an advantage in the cloud market are wrong and hyping up Microsoft's chances of overturning the CMA ruling.

I don't know if I'm tired but trying to read that tweet almost gave me a stroke.
Sounds like some people are running out of things to "Report" so are coming up with stuff no one really cares about to try gain clicks
I'm surprised given Zelda's impending release, Jedi Survivor, Ravenlok, Benedict Crumb, SF6 Demo, upcoming SF6 Open Beta (no PS4 tho, damn), showcase rumors for PlayStation, SF6 & Diablo releases coming next month and more ACTUAL gaming news & releases, these Xbox fanatics and nobody lawyers are still obsessed with the ABK acquisition.
Did RedFall damage them that badly? How are they not bored of talking about it still? At least wait until the EC gives their decision near the end of the month. Tweets and articles for clicks just makes them look even more desperate.

So what does everyone think the political fallout will be if the EU ends up ruling differently than the CMA on this deal? I know from the standpoint of the deal itself, the cma's decision will still make it very unlikely, but would it lead to the regulators being at odds with eachother?
It would paint the EU as weak and as bendy as a cheap tent. An approval would be seen as going soft on a predatory monopolist that just threatened a sovereign nation when they didn't get their way.
It would probably tank the global economy which is already on a knifes edge of Microsoft did that
Then expect COUNTLESS lawsuits against Microsoft for making their products unusable in the UK
But my Gamepass games
Nothing will happen and the deal will still be dead.
I think they keep the threads and talks afloat so people don’t forget about this because if they do, it’s definitely over.
Because they don't buy and don't play games.
They spend more time downloading and installing their gamepass games than actually playing them.
I find it funny how the same people who question why a UK regulator has a say over whether 2 U.S. based businesses can merge also cheer for U.S. senators to try and influence whether one Japanese company can sign deals with another.
