So since it lapsed in Canada, Microsoft can close at any point they want and Canada can only demand they divest Activision after the closure?

Is that right? Why would Canada not just issue a block to the deal now?

Canada is rather inconsequential that even if they did come back later and demand they divest Activision later, MS would absolutely ignore it.

Microsoft discussing with Xbox CFO Tim Stuart some Minecraft numbers.

Throughout this process Microsoft has said that Minecraft is the best point of reference for what makes sense to do with respect to Call of Duty.

Minecraft is x2 as big on PlayStation than Xbox.

Tim Stuart explained that exclusivity is just part of the games industry. For multiplayer, highly popular games like CoD there's no point in making them exclusive.

Now Judge Corley has a couple of questions. Lets Tim Stuart confirm again that whatever he said about Switch revenues was not based on a particular model. They didn't run the numbers.

No more testimony. They're now taking a multi-hour break. Closing argument at 2:30 PM.

Judge Corley wants to have "engagement" there.

End of this thread, will start a new one at 2:30 PM Pacific Time for closing arguments.

Larian Studios says it may have to make "compromises" to get Baldur's Gate 3 out on Xbox, with Microsoft engineers helping to get split-screen working on Series S:

I guess MS didn't consider splitscreen to be much of a thing this generation lol. At least not for a game that's power demanding.
