Conclusion
"50. The Transaction threatens the gaming ecosystem at a critical moment. It would take an irreplaceable gaming franchise, Call of Duty, out of independent hands and combine it with Microsoft’s highly successful gaming system (Xbox), leading multi-game subscription service (Game Pass), dominant PC OS (Windows), and leading cloud platform (Azure). The only way to preserve robust competition and protect consumers and independent developers is to ensure that Activision remains independently owned and controlled."
Well, Sony isn't accepting that 10-year contract then, as I said, they're attempting to block the deal outright but as Hoeg pointed out it could backfire on them, if they don't accept the 10-year contract but regulators find Microsoft is fine to acquire ABK then Sony may come out of this with nothing, and regulators will get sick of Sony wasting their time.
If this does ultimately pass, I'm going to expect a fiery statement from Sony, Lol.
