Microsoft & Activision Will Appeal the CMA's Decision
1,739Microsoft and Activision have said that they plan to appeal the decision to block the Microsoft Activision deal meaning this could go on for some time. Here's what to expect next and what analysts are saying about the likelyhood of success for an appeal. The CMA Blocks Microsoft Activision on the grounds of cloud gaming being an issue. With Activision Blizzard still looking to get this deal through, the Xbox Activision deal blocked is not something they seem to be taking lying down. The big Xbox news today is that they don't seem to be backing down anytime soon.

Previously: The CMA has decided to block the Microsoft Activision deal over cloud gaming concerns. The Microsoft Activision deal is blocked currently and that is going to have major implications for the ongoing litigation in this case. The CMA Blocks Microsoft from buying Activision Blizzard is big news and will likely impact Xbox's ability for the next few years in regards to Game Pass strategy. The CMA Blocks Microsoft and the Microsoft Activision deal blocked is not good news for competition in the gaming sector according to Activision and Microsoft. The Xbox Activision deal blocked is also unexpected for many. The FTC will continue and Activision and Xbox will have to delay any plans they had in the near future as it relates to the deal closing. The big concern of a Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox future was not a major point the CMA made, but instead, it was about Cloud Gaming. The Xbox news today is all about how this will delay any goals about Microsoft and Xbox or even Activision had. Jim Ryan and PlayStation are also expected to make a comment soon. So a big day for PlayStation news today and Xbox news today. Let's dive in.
