Just because they are an American company, doesn't mean they only abide by American law. They abide by the laws of the countries that they operate within. They have 2 options; Pull out of the UK (Not likely as they will lose substantial revenue) or drop the acquisition as the EU/US is likely to block as well.

UK/ EU when Google/Apple/FB created a duopoly under their noses: 😪💤💤💤💤💤💤
UK/EU when Microsoft wants to buy a company with a bunch of videogame's ip: 👿👿👿👿😠😡
Honestly, this is dumb. If they worry so much about "exclusives", just add a clausule forcing them to keep the products everywhere. And if we go by record, Minecraft is still multiplatform

How can UK block Microsoft's (US comapny) acquisition of Activision (US company).
Can't they just say who the hell are you and keep on with the purchase of the company?
