The takes are hot and flowing today.

Anyways it's (imo) odd to point to what a market may (or may not) look like in ten years to block something today.
And the cloud market isn't growing all that fast. Whole thing seems a bit off. Oh well, off to appeal everyone goes.
A ludicrous result, particularly based on only the cloud gaming piece that survived, but, as they say, the journey continues. https://t.co/tjBcxOU4Y6

Lol. Seems everyone thinks CMA's decision is dumb and baffling, aside from fanboys.
Still don't rate their chances against CAT. UK is a broken country
Kill off xCloud to pass the deal, it'd be hilarious because it would actually hurt the market even more but why should Microsoft even keep xCloud alive if they aren't allowed to acquire any more major IPs for it? If I'm thinking as a business and I see xCloud, a tiny, insignificant market, is hurting my ability to grow my overall business, I would question if it's worth keeping it around.
I don't think it is.
