The European trade regulatory body postpones its final decision after Microsoft’s latest moves and would finally support the operation.
In this case, it is Europe that has announced that it is going to delay its verdict on the approval of the operation between the two entities that was scheduled for April 25 and that is delayed to May 22 due to the latest movements that Microsoft has made in the sector and that could make the European Union agree with the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Redmond.
These agreements are none other than those reached by Microsoft to bring all its games, including the Call of Duty saga , to other platforms, closing alliances with Nintendo , NVIDIA, Boosteroid, Ubitus and other companies guaranteeing that the saga will not be exclusive to Xbox. for at least the next 10 years.
“We have stood behind our promise to bring Call of Duty to more gamers on more devices by entering into agreements to bring the game to the Nintendo console and cloud game streaming services offered by Nvidia, Boosteroid, and Ubitus,” a Microsoft representative told Reuters after learning that Europe is going to delay its final decision. In addition, it also states that they are “backing up that promise with binding commitments to the European Commission, which will ensure that this deal benefits gamers into the future”, so everything seems to point to the fact that the EU will finally give the “ok” to the operation.
