So the EU will approve, but the CMA will not is my understanding.

They still need to convince the CMA retard. Also, this doesn’t confirm the EU is approving the deal, it’s just based on hearsay. Ghostz the retard doesn’t even read the articles he posts

I will bump this thread when the deal goes through with major concessions or it flops just to laugh at you. You keep setting yourself for failure by rejoicing too early on things. Must be the lemshit way 

 

CMA have always been the ones that need the convincing. This article doesn’t even confirm EU and you are already rejoicing lol.

 You better pray MS agrees to CMA's recommendations or this deal is fucking dead you retard.

If MS doesn't agree to the terms of CMA's findings they are fucked and CMA will sink the deal. Either way Sony, Nvidia, and Google are probably popping bottles of champagne now

CMA softens concerns over Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal.The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has provisionally concluded that Microsoft’s proposed Activision Blizzard deal “will not result in a substantial lessening of competition in console gaming services because the cost to Microsoft of withholding Call of Duty from PlayStation would outweigh any gains from taking such action.” The CMA still has concerns around the cloud gaming market, but a key issue over Call of Duty has now been addressed.

It does seem likely now since Microsoft is conforming to their demands.

The demands were to offload COD

He considers this a win Thats how utterly desperate the lemming faction is. It's a far cry from where Ghostz was a week ago.

I never claimed such a thing... Try again. 

 

I said COD would not be exclusive, I posted the threads the deals they made with Nintendo, NVIDIA etc. 

 

Remember when You claimed it would be exclusive

 

 

Enjoy your self ownage as always.

Stop trying to fabricate an argument, are you that bored? 

 

We all remember you declaring COD exclusive to Microsoft.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft is using this for leverage to force Sony to have gamepass on their system. 
 

either way, every time someone buys cod on PS, MS profits. COD is the top selling franchise on PS.
