With the way they're acting I'm starting to think Microsoft isn't allowed to acquire any big company anymore even without ABK 💀

We'll have to see what they say in the end though, I still think Sega could squeak by because Sega is very small for a publisher.

$7.5 billion seems to be the limit for MS now  

Lol. Regulators have definitely changed their thinking in the past few years and changed what they actually investigate, I'm thinking that Take-Two would have faced just as much scrutiny due to GTA but I'm also thinking now that even Ubisoft would have faced this level of scrutiny due to Assassin's Creed.

I'm really not sure what the line is now, because in no way does ABK give Microsoft a monopoly or impact competition enough, maybe not even enough to put Sony behind Xbox, so it's because CoD is a big IP, there's a lot of big IPs, Lol. Now I'm thinking, imagine the fuss Sony will kick up to Japanese regulators if Microsoft tries to acquire a Japanese publisher, hmm.
