Bad decision from CMA. Theyll regret this i suspect their organisation will be crippled by this in the next few years

As for MS. They can noe go acquire smaller publishers with ease. This decision isnt actually good news for sony at all.

They don’t own COD. They have no say lol.

They’ll do what’s in the best interest of their shareholders.

If Xbox could lock down the next Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and next CDPR game for timed exclusivity, xbox could pretty much kill the WRPG market on Playstation.

I have a feeling that this will going the country to county government way. Unless the US govt has different ideas. If that happens that would be a big L for the current US regime.

I would be really annoyed if I couldn’t use my Microsoft products. It will make my job and hobby more difficult. Especially that I live and work in the UK.

The real question is if MS ABK are going to have to extend

To me, this is still not done, I even get the feeling it will become pretty intense.

Lulu is pointing out the obvious

A threat is something a person will do own it own
