"headed". if it wasn't for them being scared about the activision blizzard deal not being hand waved through like it was, there wouldn't have been the 2020-2022 pause too. that'll get right back on track now. Microsoft does deals for acquisitions in feb targetting june for completion normally so about then.
Imagine having specific months every year where you prepare to break and then break (if not the letter then definitely the spirit of) antitrust laws and most people either don't know or pretend that there's nothing wrong with it 🤬
June lines up with the end of fiscal quarter 2, so it kind of makes sense.
Yeah, it isn't the logic of the timing I take issue with lol. Thanks for the reminder though 🙂
Am not sure EC would let that one slide as they really like multiple companies competing for same slice of market. That way everyone benefits. Microsoft was already kicked in the teeth for Office and browsers back in the day for trying to dominate the market.
To quote Picard, "The line must be drawn here! This far! No further!"
So I don't remember where but I'd heard about Microsoft wanting to buy Nintendo long time ago. The suits are always spitballing.
They made an offer like 20 years ago and got laughed out of the room.
