Microsoft signs another 10-year deal for a cloud gaming partnership days after the CMA blocked its acquisition.
Microsoft has seemingly picked itself up pretty quickly after the momentous CMA decision that blocked its acquisition of Activision Blizzard moments before the deal was to be certified.
Following the decision of the UK government to block Microsoft’s attempted acquisition, the tech giant announced yet another 10-year deal with the cloud gaming platform Nware. Microsoft president Brad Smith made the agreement public via a short tweet (opens in new tab). “Our other recent commitments will make more popular games available on more cloud gaming services”, Smith said in his tweet.
These games include PC games built by Xbox on its platform and “Activision Blizzard titles after the acquisition closes”; at least someone’s confident. That’s an ominous cloud
The fact that Microsoft is focusing yet again on its prospects of cloud gaming only days after the CMA blocked its attempt at acquiring Activision Blizzard (along with all its IPs) demonstrates just how significant the tech giant views cloud gaming to be.
