Also are people just forgetting that Microsoft don’t just sell Xbox’s?

[OMGWasntMe]

Blocked over cloud gaming concerns when other companies can't even put out a decent service or failed completely (Stadia). How is that Microsofts fault?

[ThisIsCSDX]

Sony literally just bought another studio.

Let's be real the next Nintendo will still be a generation behind current gen

[nwigchert]

Lmao they blocked the deal over the LEAST UTILIZED form of gaming 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Jvvvv]

I’ve never seen so much “gamers” be sad a big corporation couldn’t acquire another big corporation.

[Red_Sutter]

Now every game site's forums and comment section are going to be filled with experts on cloud gaming suddenly talking up how it's going to be "the future" and how they can't understand why companies didn't embrace it earlier

[djtomoy]

Err why does the uk get a say in the dealings of two AMERICAN companies.

[mmmark___]

So the argument is that the future is stadia? 😂

[ProjectPhoenix]

Time for Microsoft to release another custom controller to be able to play all those xbox 360 games.

[riddif]

UK will do everything to feel on the top eh

[_Cetarial]

When the deal goes through, Micro$oft will have more studios than games. Ridiculous.

My Series X is going to rust by the time the new Fable game is out.

[beavisplay]

a TRILLION dollar company with a history of bullying smaller companies - NOW are acting like they're a "victim" - HILARIOUS

[doomtrigger]

??? cloud gaming activision and blizzard dont have cloud gaming???

[AngryBulldogGaming]

cloud market? wow they didn't even bother doing research lmao

[geethanraj]

If sony can buy insomniac then why cant microsoft can buy activision ? this indicates sony is big jealousy

[philj]

Hurts being reminded that Destiny used to be on xCloud, and now the expansions aren't even on gamepass anymore...

[agh]

go full brexit go broke is the new moto

[godssalvation]

Microsoft need to put all this effort an energy into there 20 or more studio they already have.

[turkoman]

Omg they blocked it over cloud gamings concerns. CMA thinks Call of Duty on Xcloud will dominate gaming and make Xbox a monopoly. Xcloud is the reason why Xbox cant buy Activision. Simply hilarious.
