Every time we think it's over, something else comes to extend it, Lol. Few more weeks of this shit, maybe. Can't see this ending on the 18th. Microsoft and Activision will agree informally to ignore the termination date, Imo. If the CAT trial was September (?) and Microsoft agreed to pause it then surely Microsoft has assurances that this new "investigation" won't take longer than say, August? Lol.

And maybe have assurances that CMA will accept their new proposals because otherwise what is the point? CMA can save face by doing a "new" investigation and Microsoft only has to wait a few weeks (maybe). Everyone wins, Microsoft likely won't need to do a formal extension for only a few week delay and CMA can pretend like they didn't just backtrack on their original report.

If there's no angry tweets from Microsoft then they're probably aware and fine with it.
