I do use a mic. But I generally just go over the latest VGChartz estimates and news in my videos, which are originally livestreamed on Twitch. 

I don't think the final nail for any acquisition, but I do think it would be the final nail in any large acquisition, I don't have a clue where the line is now, so I'd just guess that anything above Ubisoft won't be allowed. I think Sony will do an almighty whinge at Japanese regulators if Microsoft attempts to go for Square Enix too which may sway their decision, I'm honestly thinking only Capcom and Sega would pass at this stage for large multiplatform companies.

Microsoft have said already that whether this deal passes or not, they're still going to be aggressive and all in but losing ABK is a big blow to their mobile ambitions. I think they'd make some strategic individual studio purchases and maybe go for a large mobile only developer.  Sega would help on the PC side, not as much as Blizzard but a decent step forward, they'd still be looking for a mobile developer though. They'll probably outbid Sony for CoD marketing and go back to moneyhatting shit as well.

Though one thing to bear in mind for those saying they'd have $69bn freed, they spent this money back when interest rates were shit and near negative levels, interest rates have risen since then to over 3%, leaving it in the bank is becoming an acceptable option again but it doesn't really matter, they don't need all $69bn, especially when we can rule out Take-Two and other large companies now as well.

There's still a chance that FTC has no intention on suing to block and is doing what Hoeg said, formulating a suit because they need to for concessions, I don't know what those concessions are but if Microsoft agrees to them then FTC would still come out of this with a "win" to the public and they can brag that they strong armed Microsoft into concessions.

We need to watch CMA more than FTC.

I get it now, you have 9k subs in your youtube but your views are around the the hundreds. Checked your youtube again. I have a strong feeling your style is not adding dramatic thumbnails because they cause a rise aka trolling. IDK what to do about that? But you're doing better than me.

The YouTube channel is like 10 years old, so it has taken a long time to get to where I am at. When it comes to thumbnails I don't really have anyway of creating anything great. 

Dramatic thumbnail, The Medieval warrior has red eyes and it says What went wrong? To the viewer. It's just a picture can't click play.

Hmmm that gives me an idea. 

Also the Title is called "New World - Timeline of a Failure" IDK if you're willing to make such dramatic titles aswell? 

We're doomed.

But Hoeg agrees.

So how does this work? If FTC wants concessions, they prepare a complaint, but do they submit that complaint to the courts and then get concessions or do they get concessions before it goes to court and thus drop the complaint?

CoD, the sticking point of the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, sells like 3x+ more copies per game than mainline Final Fantasy. Don't think Sony would have nearly as much luck convincing the regulators that a Square Enix acquisition by Xbox was anti-consumer, except maybe Japan's regulator (may have to make some concessions to acquire any Japanese publisher or studio with them, such as promising to continue to release on PS and Nintendo platforms).

That was me, sorry.
