The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has declared that a new deal offered by Microsoft could potentially quell its concerns over the potential cloud gaming monopoly. The original concerns arose from Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which could have given it a significant advantage in the cloud gaming space. Acquiring Activision Blizzard would have meant exclusive control of major titles like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch. To mitigate these concerns, Microsoft offered a revision to the deal, proposing to give Ubisoft control over the streaming rights for the next 15 years. Despite finding the new deal satisfactory, the CMA mentioned that there were still a few minor issues. Microsoft has offered remedies to ensure that the terms of the sale of Activision’s rights to Ubisoft can be upheld by the CMA, which has provisionally accepted this as a solution to the current problems. A consultation period has now been opened by the CMA, lasting until October 6, where Microsoft's proposed changes will be discussed. Only then will the final decision be made on whether Microsoft can proceed with the acquisition of Activision Blizzard. And although UK has been the only major market to not yet give its approval, Microsoft had already passed regulatory hurdles in the EU, the United States, and Brazil among other key markets.
