Microsoft considers pulling Activision out of UK to bypass regulatory block.

Microsoft's president and vice chair, Brad Smith, plans to meet with UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jeremy Hunt, to discuss the competition regulator's decision to block the proposed acquisition of games publisher Activision Blizzard. Microsoft is committed to finding ways to address remaining regulatory concerns and is working on strategies to counter the Competition and Markets Authority's ruling, which could involve pulling Activision Blizzard games from the UK market. The talks are likely to be scheduled during Smith's visit to the UK to discuss the potential of AI.
