Well ya, Sony is actively trying to block Microsoft from buying Activision Blizzard.

I also kind find this whole thing funny because Microsoft keeps enough cash on hand to just outright buy Sony without having to liquidate any assets so I'm willing to bet that'll be the eventual power move

If the FTC has any credibility at all, or even an illusion of credibility, at least that would be too big an acquisition.

About 14 billion short at current. Who know what a buyout would actual take beyond the regulatory requirements.

Well if the Activision Blizzard falls through then there's your extra cash lol

governments would never allow that, and im sure Microsoft is aware that they would never allow that
