UK Blocks Microsoft Activision Deal Over Game Pass

The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced its decision to block Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard on Wednesday citing concerns it would hurt competition in the growing cloud gaming market where Microsoft dominates thanks to Game Pass. It’s a shocking turn of events for what seemed like a mega merger that was otherwise cruising toward regulatory approval.
