UK Regulator Now Likely to Approve Microsoft's Activision Deal After Concession on Cloud Gaming Rights

Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard

Key points:

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has stated that Microsoft's revised agreement addresses previous concerns and clears the way for the deal to be approved.
The sale of Activision's cloud streaming rights to Ubisoft is a significant change that prevents Microsoft from gaining control of important content in cloud gaming.
The CMA still wants assurances that the provisions in the sale of cloud streaming rights cannot be circumvented, terminated, or not enforced, but believes Microsoft's offered remedies should resolve any remaining concerns.
