Microsoft is in a very uncomfortable moment with the hope of not being able to complete the acquisition of Activision-Blizzardfor the negligible sum of $68.7 billion. Situation that was the product of the doubt sown by the main antitrust organizations around the world.
Now, if the refusal of these organizations were not enough, we have Sony which deployed ceaselessly to try to oppose this acquisition, evoking innumerable arguments in order to discredit the reasons for this purchase.
It would not be unreasonable for Microsoft to give up participating in the Game Awards 2022
Recently, the CMA, an antitrust authority based in the United Kingdom, had closed the collection of information on this process of acquisition of Microsoft from Activision-Blizzard. Something interesting and given the simmering controversy, some comments from Windows Central’s Jez Corden Hubwould indicate that it is possible that at the gala of Game rewards Microsoft I wouldn’t count on your participation. Basically, they didn’t want to show more games so as not to add fuel to the fire in full examination by the regulatory authorities.
Although the comments of Corden they would be from his personal perspective and not related to internal decisions within his own Microsoft, given what is happening, it would not be unreasonable. However, we must be skeptical and wait for this situation to change. Don’t forget that the gala The Game Awards will take place on December 8.
