"Microsoft's EU remedies exclude Sony in Activision deal response"

Microsoft reportedly left out key console rival Sony in its proposed remedies to address concerns over its $69B deal to acquire Activision Blizzard, focusing instead on potential threats to its rival cloud/streaming services. The proposals were submitted to the European Union's antitrust watchdog, which has set a deadline for a decision on the deal for May 22. Microsoft has reportedly been offering 10-year licensing deals for Activision Blizzard content to its rivals, including Sony, Nintendo, Nvidia, and others.
