Well, at least we'll know ABK is blocked (or not) by the end of April. So you only have to "suffer" a few more months of potential news on the topic.

CMA's Prelim in January could tell us.

  • If it's really bad/negative then they're likely blocking it.
  • If it's vague then we will have to wait until April.

But also we'll know what EC's complaints about the deal are in January and be able to deduce if Microsoft can offer concessions.

If it's something like "PS NEEDS COD TO SURVIVE" then we could say it's an easy concession but if it's something that looks like a concession that Microsoft wouldn't make then yeah we'd have a pretty decent idea and Microsoft will likely dump the deal before April in that scenario.

I don't think we have to wait until April to have a general idea of if the deal is being blocked, I hope.
