Now there's no chance that stockholders at Activision will say no to Microsoft's deal. And this will also help in FTC approval as FTC too look from the shareholder's perspective apart from looking into monopoly aspect.

I imagine this has to do with how poorly Vanguard was received which then ties into Warzone being poorly received since the Battle Royale mode gets directly tied into that years CoD release.

I lowkey wanna see how that Godzilla and King Kong crossover in Warzone will look like though xD

That is music for my ears, that is how you are supposed to punish companies for what you disagree, by taking your business out of their hands not by posting angry comments on internet.

Apparently it is bad to see the publisher hurt where it really hurts, just court of justice giving fines is good, customer must keep buying.
