Yup. Structural Remedies. This deal is well and truly dead. UK strikes again
Every remedy proposed requires Microsoft selling CoD at the absolute minimum and they have two weeks to respond.
Absolute incompetence from these regulators, I can't believe they're that stupid to buy into the argument that CoD alone is essential for Sony to succeed and without it they'd collapse and Microsoft would go soaring ahead of them (because there's nothing wrong with drawing, Xbox would need to be way ahead to pose a concern).
I wish Microsoft would accept #1 and just sell the CoD IP to Take-Two or EA but I'm certain that won't happen and they can't fight CMA in court so they're fucked.
