Breaking: Not only CMA has blocked the Merger but also prohibits both companies to try again for the next 10 YEARS!
FULL Post but a European Lawyer on Era:
@iHuGi
"MS didn't agree with the shares in the cloud gaming market (60-70%) because it's not a standalone cloud gaming service. However, the CMA BELIEVES THAT A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF GAMEPASS ULTIMATE USERS ARE ATTRACTED TO IT DUE TO CLOUD GAMING"
MS will win the appeal so easy.
@turkoman1928
Last successful appeal to a fine lasted 18 months in Court before a decision and it went back to the CMA.
Fine - November 2020
CAT overturning CMA - August 2022
Good luck π
