The UK regulator investigating Microsoft’s attempted $68.7bn Activision Blizzard takeover attempt has raised significant concerns over the deal going ahead.
In a provisional report published today, the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said that Microsoft owning Activision “could harm UK gamers” and potentially result in “higher prices, fewer choices, or less innovation”.
While provisional, the findings paint a gloomy picture for Microsoft – against a similar backdrop of concerns raised by the US Federal Trade Commission and the EU’s European Commission, which have both contested the deal as it currently stands.
