He's getting rewarded for building a toxic, fratboy workspace, sexually and psycologically harassing women.
I wonder if Microsoft can be held accountable for allowing a sex predator like him to continue working.

Approval isn't based on whether or not they can afford to compete without the acquisition, it's based on whether or not the acquisition will meaningfully reduce competition.
Each competition authority has their own criteria. But in this case, it will meaningfully reduce competition. For some reason UK's CMA only considered cloud gaming, which is a weird fixation. Maybe because it's an emerging market? If all Activison Blizzard games become Xbox exclusive will reduce competition and screw consumers, yet that was dropped as a concern for who knows what reason.
Bobby Kotick will remain as CEO until the end of 2023 and get a huge check for this purchase.

God damn man. How is this not an antitrust violation? The only answer is that we live in truly corrupt times. What is our answer to this?
I mention this to my Eastern European friends and they laugh at the level of corruption the US complains about (compared to what they’ve had for decades+)

And what is Microsoft going to do with this purchase? Seriously, Microsoft is buy all these game studios and fail to utilize them probably. They own all the IP required to do a followup to Fallout New Vegas and NOTHING.

They'll only step in directly if the studios are having problems they can't handle themselves, or performing very poorly.
They want the profit, not as much to direct everything on a micro-level.
EDIT: They will of course make more titles Windows/XBox exclusive too, which makes sense considering the investment.
