microsoft would be entitled to ALL revenue from sales of Activision games and in-game content.


It sounds bad, but not crazy. If they own the intellectual property, they own it.

Sony, or whomever, would be making money off their subscription service fee. They should not make money off buying the game or in-game purchases. Maybe a transaction fee at best.

The EU approved the purchase today. Beginning to look like the UK will be the only holdout, which would likely mean the deal closes regardless. The FDA would get overturned if they tried to use the CMA's logic.

Direct link to EU website.

The EU's antitrust chief tweeted out a statement before the ruling was released, where she took a direct shot at the UK CMA's reasoning.

With our clearance Activition Blizzard’s games will also be available on cloud. This is good for competition and innovation and brings games to many more devices and consumers. Microsoft‘s commitments will enable the streaming of games in any cloud game streaming service.
