So if you haven't figured it out, the CMA is being paid by sony to attempt to block this deal
And this latest move will likely get people fired...
CMA calls on the public for its views on Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard
Basically saying if enough fanboys cry they'll use that to have a reason to block the deal
This level of fukkery has never been done before and I doubt it'll end well for your favorite console maker. TBC...

CMA calls on the public for its views on Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard
So these dudes are saying they want PUBLIC OPINION on if this deal is good for trhe industry or not and they'll take that into account for approving this dealThe CMA has opened a public call for evidence regarding Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard.
This comes a week after the governing body released its issues statement, which further detailed its concerns over the merger and dismissed Xbox's arguments over aspects like Call of Duty exclusivity.
"At this point we invite anyone, including members of the public, to share their views with us," the UK regulator said.
During the analysis of the evidence phase of the investigation, the CMA will proceed with obtaining and reviewing evidence of the merger. Eventually, it will hold hearings with Microsoft and Activision Blizzard about its findings.
"If we think the merger could have a negative impact on competition, we also start thinking about potential solutions to those concerns," the governing body added.
The CMA will then publish provisional findings after it has a "good understanding of the business of the organizations" involved with the acquisition.
