More Countries Approve Microsoft's Activision Blizzard Acquisition

South Africa's Competition Commission has approved Microsoft's proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard, recommending the country's Competition Tribunal to approve the deal. The commission found that Microsoft is unlikely to restrict the distribution of Call of Duty to Xbox consoles or exclude other console manufacturers from competing. This ruling follows approvals from Japan's Fair Trade Commission, Saudi Arabia, and a UK watchdog, indicating positive signs for the proposed acquisition.
