Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard Discussion Thread |OT4| - Dawn of the Final Day, Deal is done!

i don’t think so, i remember the Corley did take a time to do preliminary injunction decision then she did rejected the PI, btw they did a preliminary approval, i should worry if didn’t happened.

I know. It was just a joke

I mean that’s not true.

In the initial Phase 1 decision the CMA identified 2 TOH’s 1 - console gaming and subscriptions, 2 - Cloud gaming

They split the first into two analyses - each 14/15 pages long covering console and subscription separately. Cloud gaming also received a 14/15 page analysis with conclusion.

That’s ignoring that it was headlined and foregrounded in the summary to an equal extent with the other TOH’s as leading to an SLC.

It was no foot note or minor thing.

It’s not their job to come up with the exact remedy they will accept. They should have given feedback to Microsoft sooner about the Cloud SLC so there was time for them to explore and propose something that works.

He sounds very confident about his source.

Tom must have really solid information that tomorrow is indeed Friday. Waiting on Jez to confirm. He’s heard it might be Saturday tomorrow but we will see….

If Saturday morning meaning UK time, then that’s still Friday over USA.

Please let it finally be over. That would be a big relief. And from there it’s just a matter of time before we see the fruits.

But man, this stuff better end soon.

CMA could either release the Final Report today after US market close (which is ~2 hours from now) or tomorrow pre-market, if Tom is correct, that is. Announcing the decision AND Microsoft closing immediately tomorrow seems like a lot happening very quickly, so I’m guessing they release the Final Report today after close maybe.

where did jez say that?

Well as today is Thursday I’m pretty confident that tomorrow will be Friday too :yum:.

Didn’t the CWA say something right before the EU approved, too? Or am I misremembering? Seems positive for tomorrow.
