Microsoft Presents 'Revised Deal' for Activision Blizzard
Earlier today, Microsoft unveiled a renewed acquisition proposal for Activision Blizzard , featuring a range of concessions. The updated agreement follows the Competition and Markets Authority’s [CMA] affirmation that the original deal would be hindered in order to safeguard innovation and options within cloud gaming. The American firm initially proposed the $69 billion acquisition of Activision in January 2022.
