【News】CMA Blocks Microsoft's Acquisition of Activision Blizzard: Community Reactions

Recently, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) officially announced that they are blocking Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This news sent shockwaves through the community.

Onlookers were stunned by the decision. One player remarked, "If this acquisition fails, we are witnessing one of the most absurd jokes in the gaming industry in the 21st century."

Many comments jokingly labeled the UK as a "global troublemaker" (a direct translation of the slang '搅屎棍', implying someone who stirs up trouble for their own amusement). While many were amused, others speculated on whether this gives NetEase, the former operator of Blizzard games in China, a reason to celebrate. However, some cautious voices noted that given Microsoft's immense resources and influence, this saga might not be over just yet.
