TL;DR

Microsoft has filed an appeal against the UK Competition and Markets Authority's decision to block its $69 billion deal to acquire Activision Blizzard. The CMA had blocked the deal over concerns for cloud gaming. While other regulators have approved the acquisition, Microsoft's appeal could take a while, and historically entities challenging CMA decisions do not find success.
