    I wonder when this will be completed and how quickly games will start coming to game pass.

      The plan is to finalise today (as reported by The Verge), but Activision anticipates putting games on Game Pass over the course of 2024.

      Personally? I’d expect something before Christmas. Got to push those end-of-year console sales after all.

    “Microsoft had the chance to restructure during our initial investigation but instead continued to insist on a package of measures that we told them simply wouldn’t work. Dragging out proceedings in this way only wastes time and money.”

    Get bent CMA. Every other country regulator approved it, you were the only ones that were dragging out proceedings. CMA only succeeded in making themselves look like clowns to the entire planet.

      Why are you so invested in this?

        It’s a weird stance for them to take. What fools the CMA are to question the competitive nature of it all!
