Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread |OT3| - Sony bends the knee!

It is. Basically the judge is telling the CMA things have changed so much that you feel your decision that was right then, is wrong now. Why don’t we just quash it you have placed an enormous burden on MS for a situation that no longer exists

CMA trying to answer back and not doing a great job.

MS boy probably dying to jump in just now.

This whole thing has so many twist and turns.

Wouldn’t the CMA want this to be quashed if it was so bad for them?

All the CMA needs to do is remove the interim order today and let Microsoft close and deal with their silly mistake later on.

Isn’t it that by declaring this a new RMS the old one becomes defunct and the process before CAT is gone?

Whereas what the CMA and MS want is to keep the existing RMS alive and therefore the CAT process alive - but just adjourned?

That’s how I see it.

I don’t think this judge can just decide today its a new RMS and do anything unilaterally I think he’s just exploring the situation.

No they want the divestment thing.

Won’t they get that with the new deal?

They probably still want divestment of Xbox cloud in the UK

Just end the whole thing Judge. I don’t trust the CMA. They might pull some snake shit later.

I don’t think the judge is buying any of that… he knows the game here since the beginning

Because that makes them look bad

They want to get something out of MS to make it look like they were in the right somehow

Well there would be no new deal if the CMA decision is just quashed. It would be finished.

Yeah but if it meant they got something out of MS eventually they could stil say look, we were right you were all wrong

Right now they are just looking like fools

This place looks like a Twitter meme of “speak me in Fortnite words” because I see many confused.

The CMA are saying that in effect - they can’t say ‘yeah this deal is good’ but that’s what they are saying ‘both parties think this can solve the problems’.
