Saudi Arabia is the first to agree, not Brazil 😂

Saudi Arabia is the first to agree, not Brazil 😂

Sony about to get rekt

HACKTIVISION seems to be trying to destroy itself before Microsoft takes over. MORE AND MORE PEOPLE LEAVING THE GAME TO CHEATERS AND WHITE LISTED HACKERS

Sad ponies noise 😂

Nice

Another huge victory for Xbox

Nah, Saudi Arabia was the first to approve the deal

Saudi Arabia was the first country to approve of the deal.

If ftc now approves by November there's no way UK and Euro will reject. They will follow the trend

The first? I thought the Saudis were first.

One step closer

what the f**k are you people talking about. why would Brazil have anything to say in this. or any country in the UN and the world? you want them dictating in your house next? iinventedthecomputergame followthewhiterabbit

Sony acting like they don't have 8 or what years of contract

Can someone explain why Brazil has a big say on these companies?

Lmao Jim crying lying gotta adapt to the competition.

BRAZIL 🇧🇷 😎😎

Not the first. The first Sony cried hard too maybe, but definitely not the first lol

Let the blue tears begin

Jim Ryan will be angry. Sony should have a studio develop a game to compete with. It’s not like Phil Spencer is at the store with you forcing a PlayStation out of your hands.

really? of course $$$$

Saudi Arabia was the first ever to approve this acquisition ‼️

GreenNinja_17 Now I want to go Brazil to thank them on the support of the acquisition of Activision blizzard purchase.

Furlanets o órgão regulador brasileiro também está com pressa de ter os cods no gamepass

The 2nd*

Let the crying begin

salt incoming

Sony can't say microsoft will be a monopoly when Sony is literally buy every exclusive that comes out and literally bribe game studios to not go to game pass

XcloudTimdog UK will follow suit

LETS GOOOO 🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

'It is important to highlight that the central objective of CADE's activities is the protection of competition for Brazilian consumers, and not the defense of the particular interests of specific competitors.'

Not the first Saudi Arabia Was first to approve

Lol, like anyone cares about Brazil opinion

I honestly think Sony made it easier for MS by camping the regulators and crying to them everywhere. It's such a bad look when you are the market leader that blocks games/DLCs from other competitors. Brazil saw right through it and others will. Deal cannot get blocked. CMAgovUK

👏

nice

its coming its coming

Good. As a Playstation fan I'm just tired of hearing about this. Let them have it. COD has been going down hill for a long time. I'd much rather see what Sony is doing with Deviation anyways. Let them have it.

God damn. About time. Hurry up so we can get this over with lol

VGC has been wrong multiple times seeing that Brazil has been against it from the beginning

yes cuz brazil is trustworthy when it comes to stuff like this

Ronin_Samurai47 Sony trying to stop the deal

That's awesome!

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was first.

Man, Brazil be dropping bombs. They know what’s up.

this is proof that this merge should never happen

Oh boy its started...

Actually bobby kotic said a couple countries already approved the deal last month. We know saudi arabia but no other country. So Brazil is at least 3rd to approve

Microsoft right now…

Quem leva o Brasil a serio vão eleger o ladrão que roubou o país por 14 anos, criou a maior gang que o planeta já presenciou. Assumiram que roubaram e agora precisa encher a cueca novamente!!!

I can't take this corrupt shithole anymore my dream is to go to work in California they defend a monopoly with a lame excuse of 'protecting the consumer'

All that crying from Sony in a Brazilian court led to this. This is so unfair to Ponies 😭😭😭 Boycott Brazil 😭😭😭

Griggity

kingdavidotw

Saudi regulatory body is the first to approve.

Saudi Arabia was the first to agree to the ABK deal

No it's not the first regulator to approve it, Saudi Arabia approved it first.

All that crying for nothing jimbo

2nd*. Saudi Araba was first

2nd, along with Saudi Arabia!

Saudi Arabia did months ago. Perhaps some research skills are needed?

Saudi Arabia was first

💚

Deus é brasileiro!

There is no way regulator bodies gonna block this deal, it’s their job to go thru all these processes instead of approving it immediately… it’s a purpose for them to get paid, so let the government agencies have their fun.

The first was Saudi Arabia But anyway, VAI BRASIL!!!!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷

Ah it's going to be great seeing all the Ponies squirm

Brazil in political decisions: 👎 Brazil in game decisions: 👍

Saudi Arabia and Brasil, flourishing democracies 🤣

SKizzleAXE 😂😂😂 ponies and Jim Ryan probably crying right now

Big up my Brazilian friends 😎 also haven't forgotten about my saudi brothers also if someones gonna be weird and debate why this is a monopoly with me....acti/blizz were heading in a very big downward spiral in terms of games produced and internal issues im hoping xbox fixes it

Correction: Among the first - Saudi Arabia appeared to approve the deal earlier.
