At this point it has become obvious that the CMA came to this decision because they just wanted to give an example of their power, but they overplayed their hand. At the end of the day, what happens between two japanese companies affects Japan's economy one way or another, what happens between two chinese companies affects China's economy one way or another, and what happens between two US companies affects USA's economy one way or another; there is absolutely no way in hell that all the countries of the world would just sit by and let a third one to call all the shots. As is stands right now, the CMA is actually putting the UK's economy in danger, and for what exactly?

Just because they said "no" to MS buying Activision? People already sign up to GP and buy Xbox products already, they have to use MS due to their monopoly offices across the world, of which they are currently getting in trouble because of Teams with the EU, is EU economy also in trouble? Are MS going to cry about lack of innovation and investment there and it being closed for business?

The only threat to the UK economy is MS crying because the CMA didn't let them buy a video game company, which they can appeal. And prehaps Sunak giving in to them but he's on limited time now. His party's leadership is done.
