As expected, the case of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard did not give us many days of respite until the arrival of the next chapter of this economic-judicial drama, which supposes for Microsoft the acquisition of the giant responsible for Call of Duty. Although the last thing we know dates back to the first conversations between the US FTC and Microsoft regarding their position rejecting the acquisition, it seems that the European Commission is ready to issue a series of warnings.
Has been the Reuters agency who transmitted this information, which they were able to access thanks to their own sources, in which they claim that Although there is no outright rejection of the deal, they intend to issue serious warnings to both companies
Microsoft hopes to offer solutions to European regulators
According to Reuters itself, Microsoft of course wants to satisfy the requirements of the European Commission regulators, but they will not miss the opportunity to warn them seriously with an official charging document, although there are informal conversations and even internal concessions. This would happen in the next few weeks, so we will have to be attentive to new information in this regard.
The purchase of Activision Blizzard has already passed the approval of various regulatory commissions, such as that of Brazil, but the three main obstacles and complications are in the American FTC, the British CMA and the European Commission. At the moment, the three have doubts and prepare warnings, which is also very normal in this type of gigantic transaction.
