Ignore Microsoft’s whines about the Activision takeover. The CMA did its job
I don't mind the complaint about CMA being undemocratic because it's a council of unelected bureaucrats, it's just trash-talk from someone that didn't get what they wanted; to be expected.IMO the reason why this decision is really dumb is because the reason given was cloud gaming.I think that people are missing this.This isn't a market. Almost nobody plays on cloud gaming platforms, like Stadia which recently closed down, or similar.The idea of blocking a deal because maybe this technology will become much more popular one day and maybe Microsoft will be the success is IMO dumb. It's just a dumb argument.Concerns about CoD and PlayStation at least make sense, but not given here.
