Microsoft’s stalled Activision Blizzard buyout received some positive news today, as the EU offered its approval.
The European Commission had been one of three major regulators standing in the way of the deal, alongside the US Federal Trade Commission and the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority – the latter of which dramatically blocked the deal last month, dealing a sizable blow to it succeeding overall. Microsoft is now set to appeal that decision.
In Brussels, however, it’s better news for Microsoft – after a couple of concessions ended up winning over EU regulators.
