TL;DR
Microsoft is reportedly considering pulling Activision Blizzard from the UK market as a way to bypass the Competition and Markets Authority's block on the acquisition deal. Microsoft's president Brad Smith will meet with legal representatives this week to discuss ways to counter the ruling, including potentially bypassing the UK or withdrawing Activision from the UK market. Smith will also meet with UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to voice his frustration over the CMA's decision.
