Regarding the rest of your post,: no, I think the decision will be totally unrelated
That's bizarre. As I said, GTA straddles several of their genres and if I had to pick just one to describe it then it wouldn't be "shooter/battle royale", and how the hell is BF not in the shooter genre? It's literally described as a FPS by EA everywhere.
Approved in New Zealand
New Zealand just approved the deal
InterestingNew Zealand just approved the deal
New Zealand just approved the deal
so it's just the UK now lol
oh i guess australia is still unknown too
the assumption was they were waiting on either australia or the UK
so if they were truly waiting on the CMA, this is a good sign (obviously)
Truly a profile in courage.New Zealand just approved the deal
Hearing reports that Karl Urban I tervened to say it would be fucking diabolical if Kiwis got a lesser deal than the non-UK rest of the world.
Think Australia will follow New Zealand since they work closely with them? Or are they waiting for the CMA?
I'll be honest, I didn't recognise it as a Spiderman meme so your logic checks out.
Still think the idea is better flipped.
New Zealand finally having a decision means hell has frozen over or deal approval is imminent.
Let's go, CMA. You fucked up, are all alone in a large group and now it's time to take your medicine, look like the rubes you've been and approve the deal so we can all move on, hopefully without forcing things that will serve only to fuck over the xbox gamers in your country.

Xbox category lead for Asia ^
Yea, this will likely all be done for the most part by the end of August. The CMA's approval is imminent.
i find it pretty funny it took them suck a long time and in the end they just approved like that lmao
New Zealand just approved the deal
The spine has been grown!
I still remember when BF's return was meant to be the COD killer and it failed so hard that it's no longer in the same genre.
On a serious note, just highlights the incompetence of these regulators. If the EC had denied the merger, gamers would be clowning on them non-stop.
Good on New Zealand to find a way out of that time loop.
Pretty positive comment that doesn't throw shade at the CMA clowns.
Well you know what they say, when the clowns run the circus you get a balloon animal made to stay on their good side
There's no actual confirmation of that, just what people assumed/joked.
