Continue to keep track of acquiring Activision from Microsoft, a story that every day seems to be enriched with a new chapter. If Google and NVIDIA say they are against the Microsoft-Activision deal, now the CEO of the Redmond giant is once again defending the impact of this agreement.
During an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Satya Nadella in fact, he argued that the Microsoft-Activision deal would not be harmful to the gaming industry, but on the contrary it would give an even more substantial boost to competition, reiterating that his company is a “small” competitor within the sector. “We’re the #4 contender who’s trying to add more content and create more opportunities for more publishers and players. I mean, if you believe in competition, then you should believe in this deal as well,” Nadella says.
“I hope that the competition authorities focus more on this aspect, it would be a great thing,” concluded the Microsoft CEO on the subject. Meanwhile, antitrust bodies around the world are continuing to examine the case, even if for the moment there are no major upheavals. It seems that new concessions are on the way to appease the European Commission on the Microsoft-Activision issue, in order to push it to stop any opposition to the agreements and at the same time dispel all its doubts.
