It's not really the UK regulator's fault though, if anything they were the best as they gave their response first (a provisional no). The EU was still investigating and the US DOJ was also preparing similar investigations. The CMA also provided Adobe with a list of changes they could make in order for the application to be approved, so it's not even like they were unwilling to entertain it. As we saw with the Blizzard acquisition the UK CMA will bend to international pressure if it's the only one holding out. |

I read that MS agreed to remedial changes for the purchase to be approved by CMA, but those changes were the same ones that CMA originally asked for at the start that MS refused. So CMA got what it wanted but it's still seen as a MS as eventual winner and CMA loser.
