CMA gonna wait till the very final day to be “noâ€Â

Didn't they come out all positive and everyone expected it to pass last time then they just randomly came out with a Nope, Blocked because of a non existent market that might not actually become a thing but if it did MS could have a monopoly in 15 years if it does.

No, they said in their initial preliminary decision that Microsoft would be expected to cause an SLC in Cloud and Console Gaming. Microsoft then pointed out a maths mistake they made and they removed the Console SLC but never removed the Cloud SLC.

This deal is done. The CMA rarely (if ever) changes from their preliminary decision, that is basically them saying they approve the deal but they want to see what the market thinks about their decision first, it's basically a formality.

Oh yeah I don't doubt the deal is going though just casually saying the CMA is useless.
