Microsoft Wins vs FTC in Activision Case & the CMA Backs Down

I hope you cover Xbox’s inevitable mismanagement of Activision as zealously as you covered the acquisition, Destin. It’s only fair.

US needs to abolish all the alphabet agencies.

They got a big W but MS didn’t win yet the FTC is still Suing them and has a case for August clickbait title.

I heard the FTC is not stopping they are fighting back after they lost I hope the FTC never wins

The ftc are relentless...

Sony: NO bonus for all of you, FTC guys

A pellet courts

ReLly like Clarence Tomas was supposed to and didn’t do. Having a son working for Microsoft is NOT a conflict of interest. If so why didn’t the FTC ask the judge to recuse before the case started. Oh that’s right when they didn’t get a ruling they liked then they want to cry about it.

@destin. When will the appeal hearing take place. Can MS close over weekend?

This is bad for gamer's and consumers. They have already put the price of game pass up!

Finally you get 1000 subs.

Weird isn't it? How quick certain "principles" suddenly aren't that important anymore for the cma. The way both ftc and cma where waving the sony flag was beyond redicule and should be looked in to.

If it goes to federal court Microsoft will win fact Pro corporation judges from both parties

The more I listen to this the more I think it's a monkey show in a clown world full of brainwashed zombie people while the super rich 1% or 2% that controls everything watch us all harming & killing each other! Blah blah blah!!!!

The FTC can appeal but I doubt they'll be successful. They weren't doing their jobs in protecting the consumer and they can't complain about the judge and a potential conflict of interest because she disclosed it at the beginning of the trial and gave the FTC a chance to have her replaced and they didn't take it.

Destin, i am mad that this is over. Tuning into you had me relive my glory days. Felt like every morning i was waking up to go to school to hear you talk about it. Lol. Thanks for being with us every step of the way bro

I'll subscribe, but only because you had great coverage and quite a few experts come on the show to break things down well throughout the trial

i had been waiting 24 hrs for this video...lol..

Great day for Xbox and Xbox fans. This really strengthens Xbox position in the content war and going forward Xbox is going to have the upper hand.
mehstation simply won’t be able to keep up with Xbox’s output. It’s going to be a return of the 360 days for Xbox when it comes to content, in fact it’ll be like the 360 gen on steroids.
ps fanboys don’t worry though, you’ll still have your console sales to brag about LMAO!!

Cma haven't backed down. False information. Uk government may still block it. 😂

BREAKING: the FTC has filed an appeal against Judge Corley's decision to deny its preliminary injunction request over Microsoft's proposed Activision Blizzard acquisition.

now that Nintendo is allowed to have call of duty will Nintendo please finally make a true GameCube 2 console with ps5/series X specs? even if it releases in 2029 it would be awesome.

FTC "we are dissapointed in this outcome given the clear threat this mergers poses to So...... i mean consumers"

Is the ftc trying to make monopolies. Wow, the incompetence

Anybody else understand the FTC litigation was just a formality?

It would be too funny if MS Cancel all CoD for PS because they didn't sign the 10 Year deal. And People who want's to play Warzone have a Relink to a Picture of Jim Ryan who say's "the Deal is inadequate on many levels" xD

FTC can only delay the inevitable... Can't wait to see COD on gamepass... :D

ftc never had a chance, they are only there because Sony pays them. They have no interest protecting consumers, they are there to protect Sony, and judge doesn't give a fk about Sony.

whatt its still blocked lool

Finally a video from Destin about the win 👍

Good video sir.

Personal view as I couldn’t care less about COD and think Xbox are overpaying …. When MS renegotiate they should lower the price so we will all pay less for GP when it’s time for Nadella’s profit.

Btw share price today is 90 (it’s highest in nearly 2 years) which means The Street thinks this is more likely to happen.

Can you imagine going to a job interview and saying, I might quit in 2 years, or getting married and say , I might cheat on you , ??? Might , may , is not a real reason to stop the deal.

Xbox still has no games? The deal still blocked? The ftc and cma is saving us gamers. I don’t want to pay 25 a month at least to play old games and games I can play right now for free.

Oh dear. Better buy an xbox people.

At least the uk stuck to its guns, more proof of americas incompitence. How many back handers did microsoft give the FTC?

Looks like FTC heard no bell

FTC just appealed it. 😂😂😂 ain’t over yet fuckers

Uh-pell-it court

FTC has appealed. They have chosen to die on this hill and die on this hill they will.

I just want this deal done as quickly as possible and ABK games on gamepass.

Wow, my boy, you look tired...get some sleep brother!

hmm well whatever i prob will stick with sony ps5 ps6

7/11/2023: The day we fought back…

I knew all along. Not it was truly anyone's take.

I'm not even an xbox guy. I have just been really into this case from the get-go due to Sony's and Sony's fanboys' antics. The copium levels are at an ALL-TIME high across social media right now. People just can't seem to look at things without looking through their blue colored glasses.

If your subscribe button animation is a file loaded in OBS, you should call it up once before recording - cause the reason its not working is likely that the file hasn't been loaded yet. Just a suggestion :) Keep up the good work

This is very entertaining 😅😅😅!!!

The ftc appealed. Good, Microsoft already has a monopoly on Windows os pc gaming, which was said to be just as important as everything else gaming wise, so no need for another one. 😮

Then the FTC wants to drag this out some more...😮
