Last month, UK regulators announced their decision to block the Xbox Activision deal, and now Microsoft has formally filed its appeal.
Microsoft filed its appeal to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) at the Competition Appeal Tribunal earlier today - which is the deadline for filing - according to a report from Bloomberg. The report notes that the process "could take as long as nine months." The tribunal's role is simply to ensure that the CMA's decisions are legal, and does not make judgements on the facts used to arrive at those decisions.
