Actvision results. Seems very good. Deal extended to october 18.
October makes sense, if you're negotiating an extension you want it to be a healthy chunk of time, and one quarter is a healthy chunk. It won't take that long, btw. The goal isn't to make it come down to the wire again, it's to get this done with the CMA and CAT as fast as possible.
Tom Warren's article says that the CMA has declared that they'll put out their final ruling by August 29.
Playstation HQ moved from Tokyo to California. They only have Polyphony and Asobi back in Japan. It's absolutely not comparable to NoA vs NoE vs NCL.
Maybe this isn't relevant, but it is just short of the timing that was being suggested for a CAT hearing of the current/original RMS if, as the Activision lawyer said, 'heaven forbid' the CMA/MS don't work something agreeable out. In that conversation Beard was suggesting tribunal availability in late Oct (although nothing was ordered/written into the diary).
So maybe coincidence, or maybe it's Activision's way of saying that on the small chance it comes to that - i.e. back to a CAT appeal/hearing - they may want to renegotiate terms, but will give it as long as possible up to that point.

New terms of the extension, until October 18th 2023:
New breakup fee, $3,5 billion and $4,5 billion
Activision Blizzard, Inc. 8-K Jul. 19, 2023 8:30 AM

New breakup fee, $3,5 billion and $4,5 billion
They've also said they want this wrapped up well before then so #TeamJuly is still in play.
It's completely comparable in the sense that all the money is still sent offshore, all the major decisions still get ticked off by Sony HQ in Japan.
No. God no. I hope MS buys them lol. Thats like one of the few studios I dont want exclusive on either platform
Bioware and CDPR
The EU said they were concerned there could be damages to the cloud competition, but that MS remedies not only remedied them, but would make the cloud market more competitive. All other regulators gave the deal a rubber stamp, accept for the FTC who got embarassed in court. Most regulators agreed cloud was just another method of distribution like physical, digital, and subscription.
These two sentences are complete opposites of each other lol.
Since day one i always believed that the deal would close.
Theres not such a thing like fps monopoly or CoD be a product that can foreclosure a competitor.
Gaming Market is bigger than ever.
its only going to october if CMA for some reason prohibits again
That's the thing though, the EU might decide behavioral remedies satisfy their concern but if they came to the conclusion that cloud is a separate market, the CMA isn't being irrational. Them not being willing to support behavioral remedies is something they have a lot of discretion on AFAIK.
Wait $96 billion or $96/share? No way they paid an extra 20 billion.
Bro really took a screenshot of Word. Where is the white box intern?
96 per share it seems, so realistically maybe an extra billion or so to the price tag?
