But that was expected from Jason, this guy is crossing all the fingers, praying this deal fail and doesn’t goes through.

Sure. And while it’s human to have biases and preferences, a professional journalist ought to perform their duties without letting those preferences colour their reporting. Schreier is quite clearly either incapable of that, or he doesn’t care. Either way, it’s unprofessional. Simply poor journalism.

You can be bias. Just in your own term, not in report.

Lmao Jason got smacked down, the headline was weird as shit and I’m starting to think is there some actual malice with this article, are they trying to put doubt in the air. Someone should look at who is behind Forbes and see if there is anything shady.
Still 80/20 on the deal going through. Schreir’s article didn’t really make much sense. I won’t comment on his preferences for consoles (and I personally don’t think it was a factor here) more his very left leaning views and his dislike for the power of big tech and what it’s been doing which lines up with Lina Khan. There so many factors effecting the current AB share price it’s impossible to factor in what the market thinks the chances are of completion.
Why the fuck is he like that, every time he tweets something he acts like a victim or knows better than everyone else, what a fucking ego.

He’s a Sony fanboy, ask yourself … Is he raising similar concerns when the market leader acquires Bungie ?

he is just a Sony fanboy in an industry where journalism is non existent.

Because he has a biased toward PlayStation and obviously an agenda.
From the announcement of the deal, literally in his followup tweet to it, he said “it calls for antitrust concerns” or something like that, has he ever explained why and how? The dude doesn’t help his case, somehow a journalist who’s professional in reporting on a deep industry level, isn’t able to elaborate on his views or explain them, other than basically saying he wasn’t “obligated” to on multiple occasions
I know the process won’t be as simple as yes or no, but don’t have to be that doubtful. Oh well. To each their own I guess.
So basically, yesterday he was phrasing his article as a way to say the deal will certainly not pass, and now he is saying almost the contrary.
Yesterday was about the clicks, but watch him change his tune if Sony acquired a publisher in the future. This guy is not professional at all. IMO!

First you need to rain the parade to generate clicks, now with some backlash you can go back.

Doesn’t someone like Jason hurt the reputation of Bloomberg? Most people who follow Bloomberg do so to follow factual stock and business news to guide their investments etc. Not to listen to someone’s uneducated opinion idk if he keeps this up it might not be good for Bloomberg.

I think this is all that it matters (about not being a simple process). The only thing anyone can do right now is to wait for regulators response and judging by past deals, it could take a long time (hopefully not) until we actually hear some NEW news.
If Im not mistaken you will only hear from regulators around the world when the either oppose the deal or want the acquirer to negotiate some parts of the deal.
Lets hope we start hearing something significant when Micrososft’s fiscal year starts.
Seeing people throwing the word “consolidation” around in certain sites is so strange to me, ABK games won’t be exclusive to Microsoft platforms any time soon and probably never and even if Microsoft did would it really hurt PlayStation that much? Probably would make it more even like the 7th gen, I can see US domination happening if Xbox has COD exclusively sure but not worldwide.
Also Jason is such a strange guy, I know this may be my Xbox fan self seeing it that way but dude comes across as an Xbox hater.
