Microsoft / Activision Deal Approval Watch |OT| (MS/ABK close)

I bet those employees were all thinking "but all it has done is gone up" but nobody actually said anything to their corporate overlords.

Round up man. Give them some hope.

I'm pretty sure that part of the calculation is actually wrong - and I forgot to move the decimal place to the left by one place, making the value 10x bigger than it should - how's that for giving them hope?

These mofos only care about themselves.
It's eat or be eaten alive world down there.
It's why you don't trust anyone that boosts about family views. They are nothing but hypocrites .

They can't, since they will deal with console SLC if they do that.

To get around the CMA, the government could set up another CMA in the UK, then the new CMA (called CMA UK) can approve the acquisition. I think Pachter will be spreading that soon

They had plenty of opportunity to sort something like that (or the suggested divestment) out with the CMA prior to their final decision.

MS is paying him, as he has his own blog.

He is contracted to embarrass himself and Microsoft. I dont know why Microsoft are still paying him. They should pay extra so the gimp stops tweeting.

At this point I question the legality if what he's doing. I mean to keep telling people it's 100% confirmed must be illegal somewhere. Especially since some might fall for it and lose money as a result.

Oh that's why. He's on his own mad crusade. Pathetic.

Or maybe do something like Blizzard has in China?

Still seems like something that would get them in trouble in the UK. Their only option is to eliminate the UK from their plans.

I have to question if whatever he is being paid is really enough to cover his insanity.
There's got to be something else bigger on the line.

Negligent misstatement covers the cunt.
To be done for Negligent Misstatement you need to prove all the following:
1. There is a duty of care between the parties
2. That duty was breached
3. The person relying on the information does so to their detriment.
So if I went on tv and said put the house on Man City to win the treble, there is no contract between me saying it and you hearing me. The comment was made to the world at large so I wouldnt have a duty of care to you.
If he gave MS a report and he said he guaranteed the purchase will be a success (without putting in a disclaimer that the person using the information does so to their detriment), and MS lost money, they could sue him. Basic information just for the gist of what I'm saying

or maybe they will do the less likely thing and win the appeal.

Winning the appeal doesnt mean that though with how the CMA works. It could actually make things worse for them.

I know it's hard to get a decent conversation on this topic without fanboy extremism... But I just read what an EU commissioner said on the topic. There's a lot of people that think politicians are out of touch with Tech but I have to say I do agree with his assessment.
gamerant.com
An EU official, on the other hand, said that the UK regulator had “overstated” the position that Microsoft held in the cloud gaming market. In its report, the CMA had declared that the gaming giant already "accounts for an estimated 60-70% of global cloud gaming services." However, it seemed to many people that the regulator had included all Xbox Game Pass subscribers in its calculation, which is not necessarily an accurate interpretation of the numbers.
Xbox Game Pass offers a variety of perks to subscribers, mainly access to a rotating selection of games, including first-party day-one releases. Ultimate members also receive access to EA Play's exclusive library of titles, two free games a month via Xbox Live Gold, discounts, and the ability to stream games using Xbox Cloud Gaming. The CMA’s analysis did not seem to take into account that many gamers who subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate do so for the free games and sales, and a lot of people have no interest in and don’t use the cloud gaming service.
