Yeah it's not always muted by default

The same can be said about single player, why can't Sony make both?
Thing is Sony has zero big multiplayer exclusives and if Microsoft does aquire ABK, then Sony needs multiplayer games to draw in that crowd. Also these studios that Sony has been buying lately are experienced at making online multiplayer games, not single player, let them do what they know.
Easy solution, don't play them? They'll still be developing their story driven single player games along side of these live service games.
Believe it or not there are people out there that enjoy more than just single player games.

Hey now that article was pretty funny, leave the fire breathing penis be.
I think you're confused, CMA are the regulators. This article is partly about the UK MPs asking the the CMA about their decision.
"Redfall was the first Xbox PC exclusive released under Bethesda after they were purchased by Microsoft"
No Hifi Rush was.
Being a Arkane game and being an Xbox exclusive does brings it more attention, but the game looks poor, has bad Ai and is full of bugs. If it had a different developers name it, it wouldnt make a bad game any less bad. The negative coverage is deserved.
Yes and no, they're seeking to block it and they are set to go to court in August.
Hanging on to it? The news just broke barely 24 hours ago, I guess time flys when you're upset?
You can keep echoing that talking point, but this 'prediction' thing just doesn't seem to be for you.
"and didn't rub it in"
Sure you did.
"How’s UK looking?"
And now your feelings are hurt, because some are boasting over a result that was obvious to most.
"you guys will be saying the whole of Europe is closed for business lol."
Uh huh. Maybe you should just stop with the predictions? Just sit back and watch.

EU is the 8th country to give approval.
"Your problem is that you believe that the odds are in their favor in the EU. Lmao, that's not the case." - You
Welcome to 2023.
Yup. I don't care what it looks like, if I'm having fun with it I'm going to play it.
"same games with minimal effort"
I'm pretty sure they would had ran these franchises into the ground already if that was true, but it's not and that's why their IPs continue to sale.
How is it more likely to not be approved?
"no longer believes the deal would lead to a substantial lessening of competition in the console games market."
When they're saying stuff like this, seems like they're leaning toward approval to me.
He says "Arkane" in his first comment and now he's playing like he meant Arkane Austin after someone pointed out it's two studios.
It's common knowledge at this point that Nintendo go with weaker hardware that causes them to miss out on the big 3rd party games, not sure why you're stating it like you're making some grand prediction.
"When does the FTC make their decision?"
The courts will make the decision in August, FTC are against it.
