EU Decision Looms Over Microsoft's $69 Billion Activision Deal.

European antitrust regulators are set to approve Microsoft's $69 billion takeover of Activision Blizzard, in contrast to the American and British counterparts who have rejected the deal. The EU is expected to be satisfied with Microsoft's concessions on the deal, including pledges to make sure top titles like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft are available to rival video game platforms like Sony's and Nintendo's. However, if the EU rejects the deal, Microsoft and Activision will face an even more difficult fight. The deal's future is clearer, and bleaker, if the EU rejects it.
