I feel like the dominos could be falling into place soon for this Activision deal to close soon. I’ve been wondering how the counter factual scenario is going to play out in the coming 1-2 weeks. Let’s presume that FTC pi isn’t granted. Microsoft can now close the deal. How does the thread imagine things playing out?
- Microsoft closes deal asap, leaves nothing to chance, and will deal with the CMA consequences at a later date
- Microsoft waits for CMA /CAT appeal process and extends the deadline and rolls the dice that the UK will approve.
- CMA / UK reach a quick “save face” agreement immediately upon Microsoft closing the acquisition
