BadNews:
I agree with others that this thread is a shitshow and we need to refrain from posting about physical appearances . I know the Pinocchio tale but still shouldn’t be said, and mixing that with Pocahontas just doesn’t sit right with me. Also I feel there’s too many statements that others feel are absolute which is not true because there are many times many were wrong
Anyways, just want to get that out of my system because I feel many need to cool down because this thread is giving these boards a bad name imo. It’s really getting into fanboyism territory that many here dislike when talking about other platforms
Don’t let one bad actor ruin the topic. In this particular case it isn’t console fanboyism, but a political leaning that is the issue.

Interesting that it included all non-management.

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

Yeah the EU could approve the deal with remedies or not next month, if Microsoft tries to fast track it. Let’s put it this way, if you thought the last couple of months were spicy, the real shit is about to go down in the next 4 weeks so buckle in.
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.

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
Spotted this from another forum. From a user called Poldo so credit to them.
It’s regarding the EUs current position.
BREAKING: Italian Site Multiplayer.it interviews Arianna Podestà, Coordinating Spokesperson for economic affairs of the European Commission, who signed the Phase 2 announcement document regarding the Microsoft-Activision proposal.
First 23 minutes.
Very, very high possibilities to close a deal in phase 2 with concessions
Highy difficult if not impossible to terminate a phase…

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
