...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Edit: If this is fake, I blame Ryuu.

Ninth Circuit has denied the FTC’s request for a further pause on Microsoft’s Activision deal. The UK order is now the only thing barring closing

So as of 11:59 PM PST today, Microsoft can officially close in America.

The FTC's Appeal against Judge Corley still remains but.

A. Extremely unlikely they'll win that.

B. Irrelevant as to whether Microsoft can close or not, Microsoft CAN close in America now after today.

The only hurdle that remains is the CMA...If the CMA has given Microsoft permission to close and lifted the ban then this deal could be closed by next week but either way will be closed whenever Microsoft is done talking with the CMA, or Microsoft can close over the CMA.
