      "and also notes Microsoft’s possibility of making Call of Duty games exclusive to its Xbox Game Pass service"

          Anonymous, 26 Apr 2023How can UK block sale of American company?Because it operates in the UK. They can get out of the UK and proceed with the acquisition but they'd lose business.

                  What a bunch of corrupt hypocrites. They allowed every other company to create monopoly, Microsoft probably didn't bribe them enough. What does UK have to do with this anyway? Microsoft and Activision are American companies, they abide to American law.

                      The acquisition has been blocked several times already. I don't think it will ever happen.
