The CMA and the FTC both being against it could encourage that I think yes. I still think EC will most likely approve but I'm a lot less confident now. This is a huge blow for MS. ActivisionBlizzard has no doubt already been factored into their gaming plans for the years ahead. They will throw everything at trying to get this decision reversed because it's too big and important of a deal. It will take a lot more time though and they may not even succeed at the end of the appeal process.
