The UK government’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has announced that it has “prevented” Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard – a move that’s sent a shockwave through the gaming industry.
In a press release concerning the planned acquisition, the CMA stated that it has “prevented Microsoft’s proposed purchase of Activision over growing concerns the deal would alter the future of the fast-growing cloud gaming market, leading to reduced innovation and less choice for UK gamers over the years to come.”
