Britannian Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on ilmoittanut, ettei oikein "diggaa" Microsoftin aikeista ostaa itselleen Activision Blizzard, mutta toisaalta paine hyväksymiseen alkaa olla kova.
Raportin mukaan CMA kysyy kansalta mielipidettä kaupasta nähdäkseen, miten kuluttajat suhtautuvat Call of Dutyn mahdolliseen siirtymiseen Xboxin yksinoikeudeksi tulevaisuudessa.
"At this point we invite anyone, including members of the public, to share their views with us."
"If we think the merger could have a negative impact on competition, we also start thinking about potential solutions to those concerns (known as 'remedies')."
Kyselyssä pohditaan muun muassa laatua, hinnoittelua ja yksinoikeuden seurauksia.
"Full exclusivity: the potential for Microsoft to limit the availability of Activision content on other consoles
Timed exclusivity: the potential for Microsoft to delay Activision content from appearing on other consoles
Poorer quality: the potential for Microsoft to offer lower quality options for Activision content on other consoles, such as not having access to features or upgrades which are available on Microsoft devices
Pricing: the potential for Microsoft to raise prices for Activision content on other consoles gaming platforms"
