They're not too happy, and they may even write a strongly worded email expressing their unhappiness.

You jest, but the FTC is trying to appeal (undo) the merger in court, and this makes their case a lot stronger: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/us-ftc-tries-again-stop-microsofts-already-closed-deal-activision-2023-12-06/

For a 68,000,000,000$ deal, even if this helps the FTC by 1%, that's a huge risk

Good. After they un-merge them they can break them up into even smaller pieces. That way in another 30 years when we forget about antitrust against they can re-assemble the monopoly. Fun for everyone!

You took all that effort to put the zeros and commas in, but put the $ on the wrong side of the number.

Neat.

How dare people write in the spoken order!

WOAH WOAH WOAH LET'S KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE HERE

you cant just blindside job creators with that, think of the neppies /s
