I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t go through. I stand to benefit from the acquisition as a GP subscriber but I’m definitely worried about corporate consolidation. At least Bobby Kotick will go away
Yeah, I’m a tiny bit optimistic, but only time will tell how this ends up going. Also Activision really is such a fucked up state right now, that if they end up making it even worse, so what? I really only see two options: eather it will be better or continue be shit like they now are.
The CMA appeal is covered in the article. Both parties have requested to delay the appeal so they can negotiate modifying the merger to address CMA concerns about cloud gaming. It’s going through.
Seems like a foregone conclusion now that this will go through. Unless I’m mistaken, the only speed bump left is the UK CMA appeal in two weeks.
The worst bit is, it seems like the CMA will negotiate with them. This might be well and truly over.

This is one of the few corporate mergers I think could make things better because Blizzard is just THAT bad.
Plus this means the SC themed Halo clone I’ve wanted for the better part of 2 decades could be a thing.
Yeah I think I agree with you on the merger, but I’m of the wait and see mindset more than picking a side.
Still waiting on SC Ghost? I remember buying game magazines and being so hyped for it to come out.

Dear god I will lose my shit.
Right but when will Bobby leave… i believe it when I see it.
That’s depressing.
