Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard approved
May 15th, according to Jiemian News, Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has been approved by the European Union.
The European Commission said its analysis showed the deal would not harm competition, a decade after Microsoft let its cloud computing rival offer blockbuster games such as Call of Duty on its own platform.
Previously, the British Competition and Markets Authority believed that Microsoft might only provide Activision Blizzard games in Microsoft's own cloud game service for commercial reasons, so it refused to approve Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The previous solution proposed by Microsoft failed to effectively address the concerns in the field of cloud gaming, and had major flaws.
