"Canada Disagrees with Xbox's Claim of Worldwide Regulator Approval for Activision Blizzard Merger"

Canada's Competition Bureau has disputed Microsoft's claims that "all but one" regulator worldwide has approved its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The Bureau has written to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to correct "factual inaccuracies" in Microsoft's court filings, stating that it still has concerns about the deal's impact on competition in gaming consoles and multigame subscription services. While many regulators have approved the deal, including Europe, Canada and the UK's Competition and Markets Authority remain skeptical. The FTC is currently battling Microsoft in court to block the acquisition.
