Microsoft has sent a final report to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in an effort to persuade the watchdog to overturn its block on the US tech giant's plan to acquire Activision Blizzard.

While the United States' own regulatory body, the FTC, lost its anti-trust case against Microsoft, the UK's own CMA blocked the deal. This resulted in an appeal from Microsoft back in May, a process which is now coming to a head.
