It’d be wierder if a deal this size didnt get reviewed by the government, its basically standard procedure.
Yeah, but good that it’s progressing to that point quickly. Also the main thing to notice is that it is the FTC and not the DOJ investigating

You can never be absolutely certain about the deal being finalized. However, based on what Hoeg and others have said, this should go through without too many hiccups hopefully.

When do you expect Activision to be completed ?
Bethesda took 7 months, the Fox 15 months (though it was a little complicated + counterbid).
Wrong thread
We really don’t have a great comparison for this acquisition.
The investigations recently having been taking longer as the different areas try to crack down on big acquisitions. The Nuance acquisition is heading onto 9 months I think (though the US approved late summer last year).

I’ll be more afraid of Tencent, FB, Amazon, and Netflix than anything.
My uneducated guess would be early next year.
I’ve always thought March-May 2023 depending on the different agencies that will look at it. Unfortunately if an agency does take a closer look that can take a few months as they all seem to be understaffed
