I guess they are relatively small so others probably decided to join because everybody knew each other.

Didn’t a spokesperson (not the Ricardo my PlayStation guy) for the EC said that at a conference in Italy that the deal was very likely to pass with remedies but hard without any?

Not sure, never heard of that. We’ll see how they’re feeling in a month.

Japan has apparently approved? Waiting for bigger newsource to run a story though.

And even CoD doesn’t sell much like it used to there anymore so really this acquisition isn’t changing the competitive landscape there much. It’s most likely approved.

Haha, if anything CoD on Switch is a benefit for Japan.

If anything, Japan has more to gain than to lose, since Nintendo will get that slice. A large one.

This is what I was referring

However, Overwatch is somewhat popular there, but unsure if its ahead of COD. I know Apex is very popular there

Leaked approval? it Possible?

On another note yall, seriously need to use ‘dark mode’ when taking screenshots.

I’m on a everything ‘Dark Mode’ Lifestyle here and seeing a huge ass screenshot with no dark mode is literally eye burning hurtness.

Please think of us Dark Mode user before taking light mode screenshots lol
