    One of those community members goes by the name of PureDark and it is PureDark that put out...

    The CMA says they have "limited residual concerns" over the new deal.

    In April 2023, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) blocked Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Their major hang-up were over concerns about cloud gaming of all things.
