He would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you pesky kids!I'm trying to picture a grown ass man in his 40s posting revenge fantasies.
Oh I'm counting on squeezing out a couple of years in this thread on appeals at least!
This thread is great entertainment.
This makes me sad and scared.
Ah man.....reverting back to PC is Xbox again, is he?
I am now free to murder and rob anyone, with Caveats.You read the article and it says they can't close it....

Don't worry, you can just waive prosecution in certain jurisdictions, like the UK!I am now free to murder and rob anyone, with Caveats.

ExactlyWell there's no one stopping you from closing that deal, just be ready for some regulatory work after that.![]()
Yeah, I'm gonna pull out of the countries that try to prosecute me because they are not "open for [my hitman] business."Don't worry, you can just waive prosecution in certain jurisdictions, like the UK!
That nitwit isn't even showing a capture of the actual merger agreement. The verbiage is similar, but definitely not the same document at all. His doesn't reference Microsoft or Activision Blizzard at all.
That's the one he's gone for, it's legitimate however as you say it barely mentions the parties throughout which is probably why he chose it for extra ambiguities.
The notion that ms can just waive regulatory approval is laughable though. A new low for that dipshit.
If they could just ignore it on a whim why is it a requirement of the deal.
Why have any approval in it at all.
Today we should have the CAT appeal, it's the last day possible to appeal.

I mean yeah, but the weird part is seeing grown people come across like 5 year olds at times.You do know a lot of us have been posting here a long time and are in our 40's+ yeah?
So Sony has been raising money to buy ....... Rare, Ninja Theory, and Playground Games.i want microsoft to close the deal this week to see the drama that will follow and the huge 10% global earning fine by the CMA
and losing their UK studios

That has 2 aspects too.Imagine the reactions of other regulators if you have a company that ignores their decisions if it doesn't favor them.
I can imagine if Microsoft just writes off the CMA it would make the other regulators think twice about any future concessions. It really would ruin any trust they have in the company.
That has 2 aspects too.
First, you are assuming that the regulators will decide not based on the proposed deal and its effects on the market, but on the basis of a situation where MS decided to deny UK regulatory power... That is, you are implying that the regulators will do their job poorly. .
Now imagine the reaction of the rest of the regulators seeing that only 1 regulator (representing 2% of the population affected by the acquisition) has the power to block an agreement that has the favorable vote of all the rest of the world regulators. ... You will agree that it is not a trivial situation for MS and that it will affect any subsequent acquisition process. It makes perfect sense that MS would take the appeals process to the last loophole and may even consider more drastic measures(It would not be drastic to leave the UK but other movements such as investing in other markets instead of the UK for future projects) if it understands that, despite its willingness to cooperate and work together with regulators for years/decades, there is no reward.
They won't. That will affect their future purchases and their reputation.I just don't believe Microsoft will ignore regulators. If a block happens they will go through proper procedures to get it though. It's why I don't believe they will just write off any block and just make the merger happen.
Looks like he moved the goalpost about the Xbox being prepared for this generation.
Also, some fun stuff to see how much he was hyping the Xbox Series S.

I don't think such a thing will happen either.I just don't believe Microsoft will ignore regulators. If a block happens they will go through proper procedures to get it though. It's why I don't believe they will just write off any block and just make the merger happen.
I don't think such a thing will happen either.
But I repeat, it is not a trivial situation for MS and I have no doubt that there will be movements in some direction beyond just sitting down and accepting that a single regulator that represents 2% of the population is created and wants to become the maximum decision-maker in any future deals that MS wants to make.
Nor do I believe that the rest of the regulators could be influenced by the situation (which I repeat I rule out) that MS did not respect the CMA's decision after appeals. Even more so when those regulators have made a decision totally contrary to that of the CMA. Another thing would be to do your job poorly, lose credibility and, of course, give the possibility that your decisions are destroyed in Courts.
Small if you are referring to the global population, not small by their own customer base.Well I guess Microsoft shouldn't have included a regulator that represents such a small population in their SEC filing.

You should eat some sugar and respond appropriately to such drivel

Please stop giving him attention here.
Him and Florian, we could call it "Xblock spawns outraged twittards"At this point there should be a thread dedicated to him. That way people can just ignore it if they want to.
SenjustusuSage Suicide Watch would be an appropriate title.

And the $3b is already sitting in escrow. Similar to purchasing a house/property.It is referring to any legal requirements that can be waived in whatever jurisdictions. Activision shareholders care because Microsoft is not going to complete the transaction and give them any money if they cannot get the deal approved by regulators. That is why the "Conditions to the Closing of the Merger" exists.
UK is the largest Xbox market outside of the USA. If they cut out UK entirely then Xbox would cease to be an international brand, and I am not kidding.Well Microsofts entire market is the world. With that said its funny how a tiny percentage is responsible for the issues they are having with the merger. It really doesn't seem like they made the right choice here.
I'm just messing around.
To be fair
Its funny tho.Please stop giving him attention here.
Its funny tho.
Haven’t kept up too much lately due to work. What happened to the appeal yesterday?

Why bother appeal when you can just waive it away?Pretty sure we won't know the status of the appeal unless Microsoft makes a statement.

They have to tell people at some point right?
"Florian says...."
They don't have to, no. Considering all the bravado coming from Microsoft, one would think they will.
But didn’t ABK specify that the regulators had to agree or it’s no deal? Like where on earth are people saying two different things whej one is stamped in ink!I just don't believe Microsoft will ignore regulators. If a block happens they will go through proper procedures to get it though. It's why I don't believe they will just write off any block and just make the merger happen.
