For a company that can supposedly survive without Activision Blizzard, Microsoft sure is pulling out all the stops to ensure the $70 billion acquisition pushes through.
As part of Microsoft's latest attempt to make regulators say "yes", the tech giant is making another concession. As per Equity Report, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority and the European Commission are likely to approve the tranction because Microsoft is planning to propose a new deal that will guarantee future Activision Blizzard titles on both the PlayStation and Nintendo platforms for ten years.
This new deal would mitigate concerns regulators might have regarding the Activision Blizzard merger.
Aside from Call of Duty, Activision Blizzard owns several best-selling video game franchises. Warcraft and Starcraft as well as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Tony Hawk's, have each sold at least 20 million copies. More importantly, the vast majority of Activision Blizzard releases have been available on multiple platforms for years.
