We only have Florian's word on the rumor for this one.

Arkane Austin won't be shutting their doors.

Everything has been getting rushed in preparation for the July 18 deadline for the deal.

The FTC may have played their final card vs this deal.

A message in the stars?

It certainly sounds counterintuitive, but we're taking Microsoft's word on this.

It's great news for Monkey Island and Sea of Thieves fans, but maybe not for everyone.

Microsoft or Activision seems to have seen red flags in CMA's talks with the FTC.

In the unlikeliest turn of events, it is now the UK that has more to lose from rejecting this deal than Microsoft or Activision.

As Sarah says, supporters should stay positive and respectful, because Microsoft is perfectly capable of getting this deal through.

It looks like Arkane Studios didn’t have much faith in this game.


Yes, everything really is rapidly turning around for Microsoft and Activision.

This does not cause a legally binding precedent for the UK CMA's investigation but politically bolsters the case for the CAT to reject their decision.

The head of the European Commission offered some insight into their decision.

Colin Raftery might have a conflict of interest.

Sometimes...bad things happen to good game developers.

We are only at the tip of the iceberg of this story for now, as these initial moves have played out in private.

EU gamers are poised to immediately benefit from the deal when it closes.

Another regulator gives their seal of approval.

This could also be another effort to showcase their efforts to help the industry for the CMA.
