DroidKnight said: At this point they should just say to hell with Sony and let the chips fall as they may. It's already too many concessions and they should only be concerned with benefiting their own brand. They've shown that they are willing to work close with Steam and Nintendo and have no interest in creating a monopoly. Sony is the only company looking unreasonable and making a total ass out of themselves. |
Interesting that Idas believes the CMA may approve it without remedies, I believe that is because CMA doesn't tend to bother with behavioural remedies and a structural remedy would be too extreme for an acquisition like this. FTC is irrelevant and Microsoft will easily beat them in court. So it does feel a little like whatever objections that the EC have will paint the picture of what sort of remedies we should expect out of this deal worldwide.
Microsoft should have EC's Statement of Objection now...Hasn't leaked yet, I don't know if that is good or bad news, Lol.
