Microsoft on edelleen ostamassa itselleen Activision Blizzardia, ja nyt Etelä-Afrikka on näyttänyt kaupalle vihreää valoa.
Tulevien viikkojen aikana niin Britannian, EU:n kuin Yhdysvaltojenkin odotetaan julkaisevan lopulliset päätöksensä. Ja nyt siis Etelä-Afrikan Competition Commission on ilmoittanut hyväksyneensä kaupan.
"[Commission] found that the proposed transaction is unlikely to result in significant foreclosure concerns as the parties do not have the ability and incentive to foreclose competing game distributors, particularly Sony (Playstation) and Nintendo (Switch). Furthermore, the merging parties have made undertakings to continue supplying Call of Duty games to other console manufacturers."
"the Commission found that the proposed transaction is unlikely to result in a substantial prevention or lessening of competition in any relevant markets. The Commission further found that the proposed transaction does not raise any substantial public interest concerns."
