The UK’s CMA has expressed concern that Microsoft‘s Activision merger could “significantly weaken” PlayStation (Updated with lawyer breakdown)
- Thread starter The Mad Titan
- Start date
Sony doesn’t need Call of Duty to compete and neither does Microsoft
Best case scenario is the .Gov bushes this entire acquisition and everyone competes with the studios they have

blathering blatherskite!
Kotick like “I PERSONALLY GOT 600 MILLION COMING TO ME ON THE LINE!!!!!”
This acquisition is basically his get out of a jail free card.
Being that there is a definite timeline people aren’t buying just yet. Stock will probably go lower before it goes higher.

Someone has zero idea what they're talking about. This is nothing like Ticket Master
Can't tell exactly who since you linked a paywalled article
Yeah the article doesn't even compare this deal to ticketmasters. The article is mainly about how the FTC doesn't like approving mergers based off promises made by merging companies because it ends up backfiring. Ticketmasters was just an example of a merger that passed based off promises made, that ended up harming the industry when they went back on their word.Someone has zero idea what they're talking about.

The Longshot they're talking about with microsoft is trying to get the deal passed based off microsoft's word that they aren’t gonna remove popular games from competing hardware and that the deal won't give them an insurmountable advantage in a new market.
So, more of the same, and I miss nothing by reading it. Thanks.

Things any company with a game that number ones every year no matter how bullshyt would say?
Activision still selling 10 y/o COD games for full price on Steam. of course they want to do nothing less than sell their game for $70
I don't understand the arguments and bullshyt Sony is presenting. The deal will go through completely with no concessions because their argument makes no sense. The delay is understandable due to the purchase being damn near 70 billion. Sony need to adjust, and they need to do it quick. You can't no longer deny that gamepass is something everyone wants, and COD will be on there.
We are seeing these tactics due to Gamepass and the revenue Sony will be missing. This is why I say PS4 era was the worst thing that could of happen to Sony because they ignored all other genres except narrative third person games.

There's going to be some concessions with the way this has dragged. Unlike America, other western/1st world countries are too keen on companies buying shyt up, esp things already established. Euros are BIG on that kinda shyt being a no no for them.
It's still going through IMO, but to what extent is going to be the question. Concessions will probably have to be made in order to clear in Europe. We'll see in March when the next go round of yapping occurs. All this other shyt is just people's opinions, especially those who haven't even stepped foot outside of the US. Euros are not as Corporatocracy ran as the US is.
