Xbox's Activision Buyout Drama Continues.

The European Commission is expected to give the green light to Microsoft's $69 billion buyout of Activision Blizzard, potentially leaving the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and the US Federal Trade Commission standing on their own. If the deal is blocked by the European Commission, it would effectively kill the deal. Microsoft may appeal the CMA's decision if the deal passes on the continent, which could drag the drama out into 2024 and beyond.
