Hate to burst your bubble but it’s very obviously going to go through. You’d have to be ridiculously stupid to believe otherwise.

It's not. There are multiple regulatory bodies looking into it. If any one of them blocks it, it doesn't go through. The European bodies are especially casting a critical eye on it.

A critical eye is not a no. It’s a critical eye. And while I’m not saying I agree with the acquisition, there is no solid legal standpoint to block it, and if anyone did they’d immediately be contested. It’s going to go through.

And they've already told Microsoft that they don't like the deal. One in Europe outright told them that promising COD on the Switch doesn't change anything for them.
