This guy is biased. Not sure.
Thank god this is all over, pretty much 40-1 for this deal with the CMA being the only hold out. MS will close over the CMA appeal any fines and then take it to the CAT, but this will be after they have already closed.

This is sad day for Playstation CoD players who now have to worry about whether they too will receive CoD Christmas skins.

It’s basically done right? FTC appeal will 100% fail, and from what I understand it’s a given Microsoft will close over CMA, so there’s no more hurdles and it’s just a matter of days till Ms comes out with an announcement?

Brad Smith’s statement doesn’t sound to me like they plan to close imminently or over the top of the CMA.
Yeah, just close this.
I Imagine that MS will want to keep the good guy image by waiting for the result of the CAT hearing, but I hope they press ahead with closure immediately, making it clear that they will still abide by/work within the confines of any result of the CAT hearing (basically, ring-fence UK/pull cloud gaming from UK etc - but still close the acquisition).
CMA looking kinda lonely

Fucking finally
Or it’s a statement to the CMA that says “Get what you can from us, while you can”.

Its not over. FTC can appeal and get another temporary Injunction. Also Even if Microsoft closed. FYC can still win down the raod and Microsoft have to sell ABK. The Appeal can break the deal since it will take it past the 18th. But if Appeal not granted then it be very unlikely FTC will win. I almost wish FTC won then we be done with it.
