The UK has reversed its ruling over Microsoft buying Activision, touting a trivial revision about cloud gaming that it claims to be a big deal.
Even Microsoft described the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) as having a “flawed understanding of this market and the way the relevant cloud technology actually works.” But that grasp of the cloud may be what has led to the new deal being approved.The UK now says that Microsoft can buy Activision, but the latter’s cloud gaming rights must instead go to the independent firm, Ubisoft.
