The UK will finally issue its ruling on Microsoft's $68.7bn attempt to buy Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard this week, following months of deliberation.
A final ruling by the CMA must arrive before the end of its deadline day - this Wednesday, 26th April - and Microsoft has recently had reason to hope its efforts to win over the UK authority will ultimately prove successful.CMA issued its provisional conclusion on the deal It marked a sea change for the CMA's attitude on whether the deal should pass, after an earlier provisional report, and sternly warned such a deal"could harm UK gamers" and potentially result in"higher prices, fewer choices, or less innovation".
"New data indicates that this strategy would be significantly loss-making under any plausible scenario," the CMA wrote last month.
