) are going to pressure the CMA over ABK?I'll go ask those intelligence agencies what they think
Yeah, you go get on that and report back to us. If nothing else, it'll keep you busy for awhile trying to find anything related to "Intelligence". 
James Bond just rang, he said he wants CoD on Game Pass because, in his words; GoldenEye is for boomers and pussies.They just got back to me. They just sent me this
And your idea of an intelligent point is what? That the UK intelligence agency (which is what in your mind? MI5?
There is no intelligent counter point to that except to laugh at your idiocy.
No you twit. As I've already stated twice now. To assume that the regulatory process is apt to be affected by outside factors such as politics only in the US. But to also assume that the EU/UK is somehow above such things is the only display of idiocy here.And your idea of an intelligent point is what?

Well you finally showed. A bit late for work today aren't ya?
Don't think MI6 even cares about this.
I should've known expecting you to be able to differentiate between your sent and recieved messages was asking for too much.They just got back to me. They just sent me this
Yeah, they're bad. So no matter how fascinating they may be to you, just say no. We can't have your reading comprehension getting any worse.
MI6 just called, they told me not to listen to your mean comments because you wank to granny porn.
It's not unusual to back out of deal when FTC sues. So it is important information that's for sure. Especially since there were rumors not that long ago that Microsoft is "annoyed" about all things that they are going through because of this deal and many people came into conclusion that if it will go to court, Microsoft would rather pay 3 billion penalty and dump this deal.
It's only granny porn to you because they're over the age of 18.
I suppose you could've been on time, and it just took you far longer to type out a legible reply. But I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Not gunna lie, I love my 19 year old grandmas.
At the rate you catch those, I don't see why you'd be surprised.
Ahh, so you do have a bit of intelligence. 19 huh? Yeah, sure. I got ya.
No doubt, I took my SATS in school.Ahh, so you do have a bit of intelligence. 19 huh? Yeah, sure. I got ya.
Activision compared to entire gaming market is miniscule. It won't change the needle that much, considering how much competitive the market currently. From console, to PC to mobile.
It can go both ways.
It did.
Vs
That is a big decline for the brand in UK.
Except Xcloud/cloud gaming doesn't bring in money. Its a subsidized business by MS. They are making a loss here, without any generated revenue.
MS isnt bigger than uK and EU. They have alot to lose.
Anyone with insane arguments like that sounds like a shill.
Just like you did now?
Because it's absurd, that someone is able to make something like that, with no thought process.
Read the ftc current agenda, especially the boss of the ftc.
But why are you looking at 2018 and PS4 data when it's 2022 and PS5 and XS have released? Xbox is currently not losing marketshare in the UK in any way. At the end of 2023 it would be even more difficult to bullshit the courts with legacy sales.
You can also argue that they were only 600k units behind the PS4 in the UK with an anaemic first party, but they’ve now added Zenimax, Obsidian, Double Fine, Ninja Theory etc. If anything that just proves how powerful Xbox’s mindshare is in the UK, that it was essentially neck and neck with the PS4 with such a disparity in quality exclusive games. And with Sony also having exclusive marketing rights to CoD AND FIFA, it was still that tight.
I just showed you the entire xbox one sales for 2022 vs ps4 numbers as of 2018.
It's millions at this point.
Who the hell is buying PS4s or xbox ones for the last 2 years? PS4 did not sell a lot. Sony only manufactured 1M PS4 globally. Why ignore the UK market share gains for Xbox series to suggest xbox is losing marketshare there?
Why would it be forcasts? They already have 2 years of data to show that xbox isn't losing marketshare. MS actually used a forcast to present to the regulators. They said they are forecasting to lose marketshare in the UK. It was complete nonsense. Come the end of 2023 it will be very evident that it was complete nonsense.
I'm just puzzled as to why people think an FTC lawsuit is such a big deal. The FTC has no power at all. They only way they can take any action at all is to file a lawsuit.
I am showing you ss to why xbox lost the market share. How hard to not understand that.
Have you see xbox one vs ps4, and now xbox series vs Ps5?
Ftc lawsuit can potential lock MS in unfavorable position, depending on the result.
Of course the result of an FTC lawsuit could be unfavorable to Microsoft. It could be also be unfavorable to the FTC if they over reach and end up with an outcome that limits their legal options in future cases. Literally what thing about this deal is illegal to the point that Microsoft could be banned from acquisitions for 10 years? You've maybe been listening to resetera legal analysis too much. No need to go full on hyperbole.
It seems you are mixing up past, present and future tense in your arguments. MS has said to the regulators that it forcasts a loss in marketshare in the UK. At the end of 2023 it will become obvious this is complete bullshit. That's all I'm saying.
What makes you believe that?
If it goes to court, come the end of 2023 the bluff would be obvious. They are definitely not getting left behind here, they are gaining marketshare not losing it.
They will own activision in the end and no amount of wishful thinking can stop that. Also Sony doesn’t get to dictate nothing. Any deal made will be between regulators and Microsoft. Also FTC doesn’t have legs in this political environment atm.
As oppose to the competition who’s saying their business will end because of the deal? This isn’t going to last into the end of the year April the latest.
Just because you read the word foreclosure doesn't mean what you think it means. It's referring to input foreclosure which can be both total and partial. Companies like Sony rely mostly on third party sales for their subs and consoles. If another party is buying third party publisher after third party publisher it becomes an input foreclosure risk. Especially when it is for the biggest selling games. They are talking about sectors no longer being able to compete, not bankruptcy. Stadia is an example.
