literally nothing is going to happen, laws dont apply to corporations anymore

>literally nothing is going to happen.
True

It's an american company buying another american company.
FTC won't do shit.

wow, the same thing that happens to any other acquisition, nothing is going to happen.

>Something that happens all the time is gonna happen again
oh noes, however will I cope.....................

>anymore
u gotta be pretty naive to think capitalists haven't been getting away with it for the past 300 years

NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST USE MONEY TO BUY THINGS!!!

If they didn't go after Disney they won't go after Microsoft. Also Microsoft deals with the military, Disney doesn't, nothing will happen.

Isn't this something that happens to all huge acquisitions?

You guys realize they didn't allow Nvidia to buy ARM, right? Also, the new FTC head is the strictest on major acquisitions.

They don't give a fuck. There's dozens of companies in the US that are WAY too fucking big. The days of FTC actually monitoring and breaking up companies passed 40 years ago.

Yes. Stanard procedure. This is not some exception. No one is taking a special interest in it. It's not some targeted audit. It's literally the FTC's job to look into all of these acquisitions and mergers. It's what they do.

You realize that companies like Facebook, Apple, Google and Amazon are on the verge of being broken into multiple companies because they're deemed too big and anti-competitive?

Looks like OP is a jobless faggot if he frames this nothingburger into a console warring thread.

ARM isn't an american company.
FTC don't give two fucks about american company buying another american company.
American company trying to buy a British company leads to much more pushback.

Just two more weeks, right?

Almost
If a gentile corporation gets big they will scream ROBBER BARON but their fellow members get free reign

Like how that indian pharma ceo got arrested for causing drug addiction in patients while tribesmen pharma companies keep to doing whatever the fuck they want

based
SonyCHADs always win

That only applies to disney.

they're not exactly British either anymore. they're owned by SoftBank (Japanese).
