So appeal remains:
but Microsoft will still be able to close? How strange.
So basically the entire thing? MS win?
I panicked a month ago and bought Diablo II, Diablo III and Diablo IV lol. Oh well. Still, glad I'll be able to play (eventually) CoD for the first time ever.
First Corley and now the 9th circuit. I hope this is enough to get the FTC to chill a bit..... Lmao 🤣
This was always going to be the case. Now it's up to the FTC to decide if they continue with their appeal and the administrative review after MS closes.
Well there it is. I expect news from the CMA on Monday morning that MS will be allowed to close and then MS closes immediately.
This would only happen if they lose their appeal. We're not even going to make it that far.
The TRO expires today and FTC has failed to get injunctive relief, so MS is free to close as far as US is concerned.
They can appeal for emergency stay there since denied, not the appeal. They won't though and SCOTUS probably wouldn't take it anyway.
They can wait til Monday if they want now. Saturday was just in case the appeals court didn't respond.
Love that the denial was just "How about no. Also go read those two cases MS cited. Thnx bye."
We have no idea what would happen with the UK if MS closes. It would depend on what MS is doing, whether the CMA is providing some sort of conditional approval to close, and what those terms would be.
