Microsoft’s attempt to acquire Activision-Blizzard-King has a new lease on life, as the EU gives its seal of approval. European Union regulators say Microsoft offered remedies that alleviate any concerns it may have had concerning the $69 billion deal.
Since its announcement, the controversial deal has had regulators questioning whether or not it was good for innovation and the gaming industry in general. The UK recently handed down its decision to block the deal, with it adding additional stipulations just last week. However, regulators for the European Union (EU) have given the deal the go ahead.
Opposition to the deal has seemingly shifted from the highly popular Call of Duty franchise, and is now centered on console and cloud gaming in general.
