Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard continues to have twists and turns and that affects the public, ie you. We can learn that.
Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard continues to spill ink and stir up debates of all kinds. This time, public opinion is at stake. In fact, the CMA, the UK regulator that seems particularly strict, wants to appeal to the public.
We ask for your opinion on the acquisition
The CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) wants to know the opinion of the public in their investigation. Given the somewhat unusual aspect of the acquisition and the sums involved, we can understand this change of direction, even if it risks sparking endless debates and maybe even reigniting the console war.
Here we invite everyone, including the public, to give us their views.
While we believe the merger could have adverse competitive effects, we are also beginning to consider possible solutions to these concerns.
Of course, to contact the CMA about the takeover, you must speak the language of Shakespeare and send a message to the address below [email protected]
How to submit your evidence to the CMA
Evidence and views should be emailed to [email protected]If you want to provide attachments, make sure they are in Word, Excel, or searchable PDF format.

Please note that due to the anticipated volume of submissions, we may not be able to individually acknowledge and respond to your email.
The British government has already indicated that it cannot process all requests. Which seems obvious given the number of pros and antis who will spend a big day spitting their venoms.
