Yes, they absolutely did.   That's not even refutable at this point lmfao.

 

The CMA absolutely believe they have the ability to block this merger worldwide:

 

 

Microsoft can't separate Activision specifically for the UK market... but Activision absolutely can independently stop their gaming business in that market and move somewhere else... like the EU.

 

 

You kinda have to put the CMA as a stipulation of the contract if you're already doing business there and want to continue to do business there  

 

 

 

Like I said... the way MS can skirt around this issue is to have Activision withdraw from the UK market independently first before they close the deal... thus the CMA's authority wouldn't apply to them.  They could then sell Activision games in the UK through a distributor after they close the deal.  The catch is that MS themselves couldn't distribute Activision titles on GamePass or Cloud in the UK, because that would require approval, which they wouldn't have.

 

So is Microsoft willing to close the deal and only allow the game to be imported into the UK so that this deal can proceed everywhere else?  I guess we'll find out eventually.

 

Yeah the CMA misunderstood the market, Communism works, and the Jews were treat humanely in Nazi Germany...swallowing propaganda can be fun

You day the CMA can block the deal globally.....but then keep repeating to us that if Activision pulls out of the UK and no longer directly does business here, the deal can go through. That seems to imply that the CMA only has power over the UK market...as they should. Not the CMA's problem if Activision is too intertwined, the CMA is here to protect the country from predatory scum like Microsoft who think they're playing Monopoly.

The CMA did not misunderstand anything, stop parroting Microsoft propaganda.

It would be irrational for the CMA to be able to block every merger world wide at their own whim when all other jurisdictions agree to it. 

"If you repeat a lie enough times it becomes true" - Microsoft fanboys.

The FTC dud not agree to it either. Whether they can block it or not is irrelevant, the fact is they didn't agree and they said it was bad for the industry. Just because in America money talks more than anything else it does not mean the FTC approves od this deal.

Secondly the CMA can not block worldwide. They can block in the UK, if Microsoft doesn't like it then they can leave the UK and the CMA has no effect. Xbox retards are throwing a hissy fit because they think a multi-trillion dollar corporation should be able to ignore a country's regulator AND still be able to do business in that country. Spoilt brats who have never been told no.

Maybe they shouldnt have put CMA approval as one od the stipulations in their fucking contract if they have so many issues with them.

I hope the worst for Brad Smith. I've never seen such small dick energy, he looks like the kind of guy who would short change child cancer patients if he thought he could get away with it.

No... absolutely not.  MS went far above and beyond what they should have needed to.  The CMA doesn't even have the right understanding of the gaming market.  Since they clearly demonstrated that they don't... literally EVERYHTING they did, was meaningless.  If you can't properly define the market you're supposed to be deciding over, then you can't make a proper decision, period.

 

And bud, sorry to break it to you... but the CMA already looks like the laughing stock  

 

I'm not defending the megacorp... the CMA just literally doesn't understand what the fuck what the market is.. and they can't just block deals without legal grounds to do so... and they don't have any here.  If they get away with this, it allows them to just block anything for any reason.. and when that happens, companies aren't going to invest in that market.

Yeah yeah, you dont get to watch one of he most evil, greedy, anti-consumer corporations on the planet buy up the industry because they never had the talent or the know-how to make their own games, and only have fucking Forza and a dying Halo brand to show after 22 years on the market.

You think the cma doesnt understand the gaming market? Have you fucking looked at microsoft? You silly cunt thats why they're a global laughing stock  thats why they have no games after 20 years.

Microsoft does not understand gaming.

Microsoft can not successfully manage development studios.

Microsoft does not have the ability or understanding to bring a good game to fruition.

That evil CMA, stopping the spoiled rich kids from buying a new toy

Yes they can.  MS could give them a way to accept an expanded behavioral remedy which would allow the CMA to look like they still "won" something and that their concerns were ultimately addressed.

Ms had a chance to offer suitable remedys, the cma rejected their pitiful offerings, and ms wasnt willing to go further.

So the cma blocked the deal. Now it needs an appeal. But that appeal is on procedural grounds, and then the decision goes back to the cma.

If the cma now has a meeting with microsoft and says they reached a compromise, that in itself is now how the cma process works, so they would already look like a laughing stock.

You have to be a real cocksucker to defend a greedy mega corp run by small dick brats who have been trying to stronghand an entire country.

Oh wait, he's meeting Jeremy Cunt Maybe M$ does have a chance then, this slimeball piece of shit would sell his own kids for a profit. I really can not stress juzt how much I hope all that them die in a flaming car wreck.

The FTC is holding out too, it will be an uphill struggle for the FTC sure because in America money talks and the corporations always win, but if the FTC blocked the buyout what would M$ do then? Pull Activision out of the US?

The CMA can't back down now how would that look? That if you throw a tantrum like a fat little rich kid like Brad Smith did then you will get your own way and governments and regulators will roll over for you? Throwing their authority in the gutter. If the CMA caved on this it sends the message to every mega-corp out there that their decisions are meaningless.

The sad thing is watching this small-dick energy balding chump act like a spoiled brat with his tweets and now threatening to pull out of the UK, he's well and truly throwing the teddy out of the cot because it's obvious he has not once in his life ever had his parents say no to him. Microsoft is a basically a south park parody of an evil mega-corp at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we find out they're dumping toxic wastes near orphanages.

This says withdrawing activision but honestly I'd love it if ms themselves fucked off from the UK. All of their products are shit, real worthless, greedy, blood sucking shit. They dont care about making good products because they know they will sell regardless. I cant think of a single microsoft product thats actually good and well made.

Microsoft kills another one.

What in the fuck?

It's to appeal to Middle-Eastern audiences 

And "good guy Microsoft" wants to buy this 69 billion dollar pile or shit knowing how bad it is.

I've worked in huge companies before so I totally believe their claims. It seems par for the course that management and HR stick together and try to pin the blame on the people making the complaints. These companies are always set up so the power structure protects itself.

You didn't like the Deck nor the Ayaneo, I await yojr eventual buyers remorse thread once you get fed up with the janky os and short battery life

Yea for gaming, they sell prepacked gaming PCs. 

 

How do you think slow Jonny was a dell kid for so long? .... When He didn't even know how to unzip files

 

But luckily for him and many others they sell prepacked gaming PCs as well. 

Yes but not every game will work on a PC without tinkering....unlike a console where a game will always boot after pressing play.

And it's not stupid Linux 

Windows 10 is probably the most buggy and bloated pile of shit ever made Fuck having that on a handheld.

Yes PC is a mass market device as you can purchase pre packaged PCs that have fully dedicated user experience out the box where the most not tech person can easily use it.   Dells, HPs, Toshibas, Surface Books, Surface book pros, Surface laptops etc. 

 

No Tinkering involved, mass market prices and mass mark availability. 

 

 

Not for gaming no, not every PC game will work out of the box. Some require tinkering to even get them to launch.

Apple has no games

Yes they are and they will get better as time goes by..... But at the current moment they're not ready. 

 

All those current PC hand helds including the deck are basically beta tests that are being sold to consumers. 

Lol this thinly veiled shot, like Switch is so high class and perfected, as Nintendo sells gimped retro ports 3 gens in a row which are outdone by fan emulation

News flash the Ally and the deck are on the niche boat. 

 

Go on any gaming community right now and the Switch mindshare still runs laps around deck. 

 

From day 1 I said deck wouldn't be a threat, it never was a threat and continues to not be a threat.  

 

But For some odd reason you keep wanting me to be triggered by deck... When there is nothing about it to be triggered about. Its a non factor in the grand scheme of things. 

 

For the enthusiasts who love it and want to Tinker with it... great for them.  Perfect for that very small subset.. 

Yeah yeah, Deck had a lot of buzz and you sheep weren't shook...even though you've always acted like it.

When and where did that happen?

 

Deck is currently doing worse than Xbox while Switch is back at #1 for April and will most likely repeat that for May.

 

While the deck is more user friendly than the other PC handhelds... The deck is still incredibly niche compared to the Switch. 

 

Mindshare among gaming communities, not mass marketshare.

Deck became a darling online and created a lot of buzz, which is why sheep like yourself were triggered over it day one but seem relaxed with more niche devices like the Ally.

And get a sense of humor for once in your life dipshit  

 

 

The lemshits are the ones butthurt because someone beat them at their own game

He must be hiding in the same place that lemij, dynaflop, jonb and little dick tucker all go to hide

The people telling you this game looks bad are the same people who spent the past decade telling you games like Redfall, Crackdown 3, Scalebound, State of Decay 2 and Halo Infinite all looked good.

Lemmings are not very good ar accurately predicting the quality of a game
