The fact that Cloud of all things is what is holding up the ABK acquisition still blows my mind. Cloud gaming is a market that isn't likely to go much of anywhere for at least a decade, quite possibly longer. There are far too many things holding it back from being a viable alternative to playing games on local hardware, the difficulty of playing games designed for a physical controller on a touch screen, the cost of a truly unlimited mobile data plan, the limited coverage of 5G towers (5G covers less than half of the land area of 4G currently, and even 4G is missing in a great many area of the US still), latency issues, etc. Some of these areas are unlikely to see large improvement for at least a decade.
If I was Xbox I too would consider dropping my Cloud gaming plans if it means being allowed to acquire ABK.
