Damn - you Brits are fucking slow with the news updates… if this were in the US - this would’ve been out by now with a full media blitz by 7am …

As a self-confessed Sony Pony, I know today won't be a great day so I decided to cook Oven roasted Garlic Parmesan Asparagus drizzled with lemon juice and Garlic Butter basted pan seared A5 Grade Wagyu Steak with Thyme.

Before

With my trusty meat thermometer so my steak is medium rare perfection.

Why isn't it a great day? This deal has zero effect on you as a consumer or Sony fan whatsoever.

In a year people will have forgotten all about this acquisition and Call of Duty will merely be available on more platforms.

Everything's cool.

Don't bother lol. You could spend hours arguing with people over this. Sony fans don't want this to go through because it doesn't benefit Sony. If it was the other way around we wouldn't have a 874 page discussion about it.

CCO of ABK deleting light hearted tweets could mean that they've received bad news and the tweets getting deleted is to save face. OR it could mean she got told to delete the tweets because it's unprofessional.

Either way, it would definitely scare people into selling. Which would drive the stock price down.

If the news comes out and it's positive you'll see it rally like 12% probably.

But how? I thought the CMA was in Microsoft's back pocket? Lol.

Was always a possibility. Wonder what Microsoft's response will be, if they'll fight it or start looking to other opportunities.
