The EU explains why it approved Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal.
EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager held a speech today and discussed why Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard was approved instead of being blocked like in the UK. Vestager says EU regulators diverged with the UK’s CMA over Microsoft’s 10-year remedies to allow rivals to stream Activision games — saying the deals have “significant procompetitive effects.” Vestager ended the speech by discussing fair competition. “That is our Call of Duty.”
