The CMA has now faced questions from UK MPs over their decision to block the Microsoft Activision deal
, the body said that Microsoft commitments “fully address the competition concerns identified by the Commission and represent a significant improvement for cloud gaming as compared to the current situation” – a marked departure from the UK’s claim that the deal could see “reduced innovation and less choice for UK gamers over the years to come” particularly when it came to the cloud gaming sector.
It did admit that if Microsoft made Activision games exclusive to Game Pass, it would ‘reduce competition’ in the cloud streaming space, but one of Microsoft’s proposed remedies for the deal included a free license to cloud game streaming service providers and to consumers in the EEA to stream all current and future Activision Blizzard PC and console games via any cloud gaming streaming services of their choice.
