I really hope this ends tomorrow or at least comes closer to ending, another few months with the appeal with just be another circus, this case will never truly end will it lol 

Also I assume Act could still walk away esp the appeal goes through and we are back to sept or oct?

If the merger agreement isn't extended then Activision can walk away for whatever reason they want to, whenever they want to, and still pocket the $3bn.

Yes, but there's nuance to this, current stock price is tied to this transaction going through, if ABK walks away they might get $3B in cash on hand, which is not guaranteed to be paid in dividends to investors short-term, but how much investors will actually lose in market valuation? Not only that but it's quite common for CEOs and the like to tie their bonus to stock performance, so I would believe they would keep the transaction at the very least until their next bonuses are attributed.
