A UK watchdog has completed phase one of reviewing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's ꦯmodified proposal to acquire Activision Blizzard, and it's looking good for those who wish to see the deal sealed.

In a , UK regulator the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) explains that "the sale of Activision'🐓s cloud gaming rights to Ubisofꦿt substantially addresses pre🦹vious concerns and opens the door to the deal being cleared." 

The CMA goes on to say that, while residual concerns with the new deal have been identified, Microsoft has put forward remedies that it has provisionally concludes should address these issues. At the time of writing, the CMA is consulting further on said reme🌼dies before making a final decision.  

"This is a new and substantially different deal, which keeps the cloud distribution of these important games in the hands of a strong independent supplier, Ubisoft, rather than under the control of Microsoft," says senior director of mergers and Phase 1 decision m🔯aker Colin Raftery. 

"With additional protections to make sure that the deal is properly implemented, this will maintain the structure൩ of the market, enabling open competition to continue to shape the development of cloud gaming in the years to come, and giving UK gamers the opportunity to access Activision's games in many🤡 different ways, including through cloud-based multigame subscription services."

In a statement issued to GamesRadar+, Microsoft vice chair and president Brad Smith adds: "We are encouraged by this positive development in the CMA's review process. We presented solutions that we believe fully address ﷺthe CMA's remaining concerns related to cloud game♉ streaming, and we will continue to work toward earning approval to close prior to the October 18 deadline."
