Definitely, the Activision acquisition has already been blocked so far in the US by the FTC, and looks to be on very shaky ground there.
Initially it was only the UK opposing it. While I may put my tinfoil hat for this, I wonder if the EU Commission was paid off or just clueless. I read their supposed reasoning for this, and all it focuses on is "game streaming" because apparently that's a thing that EU Commissions cares or knows anything about. Worked out real good with Stadia, didn't it.
So what I suspect will happen, if the acquisition goes through is that microsoft gonna set up a shitty game streaming service nobody will want to use, eventually make everything exclusive to ms store and xbox and laugh at the clueless bastards that allow that to happen.
