The European Commission again decided to postpone the final decision on the acquisition Activision Blizzard from the side Microsoft. The deadline has been extended from April 25 to 22nd of May. The reason is the revision of the corrective measures that Microsoft proposed to the authorities yesterday. This does not change the fact that the EU is likely to approve the deal.
According to investigative agency Mlex (via Idas), Microsoft needs to rebut the fears of European authorities, especially in the field of cloud gaming. That is why Microsoft’s recent agreements make sense not only with Nvidia but also companies booster And Ubitus. On the contrary, the EU should have left the pressure on the presence of games on the PlayStation.
The British authorities have very similar concerns – their eyes are directed precisely at the cloud, in the sphere of which, in their opinion, Microsoft could build exclusivity. Contracts over the past few weeks should refute this assumption.
British decision Competition Authority (CMA) must come 26 April. Now he is negotiating with Microsoft. Meanwhile, in the US, preparations are underway for the August trial, which she called Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
