Microsoft''s acquisition deal for Activision to face in-depth antitrust probe in UK - FT
Microsoft chose not to offer any remedies to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) at this stage because there were no obvious commitments the UK regulator would be likely to accept, the report said on Wednesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The CMA said earlier this month that the takeover of the "Call of Duty" maker could hurt competition in gaming consoles, subscription services and cloud gaming if Microsoft refused to give competitors access to Activision''s best-selling games. Microsoft and Activision did not immediately respond to Reuters'' request for comment, while CMA declined to respond.
