Could Microsoft be turning its back on the UK over the Activision Blizzard acquisition? Satya Nadella thinks we should wait and see.
If the CMA is adamant in its decision and Microsoft’s appeal is unsuccessful, the company will have to come up with a plan B and plan C. For example, one of them would be to only offer Activision Blizzard games in England as before and not via Xbox Game Pass or Cloud Gaming.
When asked in an interview if Microsoft would ever consider selling the product in the US and Europe but not the UK, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said: “We’ll have to wait and see how the whole thing develops.”
There seem to be many options for Microsoft, but you definitely don’t want to let the good relations with the United Kingdom be ruined. Likewise, they don’t want to let the deal with Activision Blizzard slip through their fingers and hope that the CMA in the UK will give in. Especially after the approval of the EU Commission and now 37 countries.
