Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal finally gets green light from UK regulators
Microsoft has been given the green light to acquire Activision Blizzard by the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority today, Oct. 13.
In August, Microsoft cut a new deal that would see Ubisoft purchase Activision’s cloud gaming rights. This trick put all of Activision’s PC and console content in the hands of Ubisoft, and it was enough to convince the U.K. government to finally seal the deal.
