Microsoft set to acquire Activision Blizzard despite legal challenges.
TL;DR Summary
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is expected to approve Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, removing a major hurdle to the $69 billion deal. The CMA had previously launched an investigation into the deal, but reports suggest that the regulator is likely to side with Microsoft after the company promised to give Sony and Nintendo access to Call of Duty long-term. The decision will arrive just a day after Microsoft's Q3 earnings report, which shows gaming revenue down 4% to $3.6 billion.
