Public responses to the UK CMA were broadly in favour of the Xbox x Activision Blizzard merger.

"We invited responses from the public. Of the 2,100 emails that we reviewed, around three quarters were broadly in favour of the merger."https://t.co/BpL7BgN6qY pic.twitter.com/c05Gh9gXfe

There is a new document from the CMA, a summary of responses from members of the public (3 pages).

- 2.100 emails reviewed, 3/4 in favor of the merger, the rest against
- There is a list of (14) views in favor and (11) against the deal
- The summary does not represent the views of the CMA

The CMA received approximately 2,600 emails, but some of these were excluded from our review because they contained abusive content (with no other substantive content), or were blank, unintelligible, stated to be from non-UK consumers, or not in English.

Really surprised by this, online opinion tends to greatly favor negative or unfavorable view. Would be interesting to verify if past such exercise from the CMA resulted in that much positive view and what was the final result of those but way to time consuming to look into this.
