"Microsoft's Activision deal faces delays and remedies from EU and FTC"

The European Commission has delayed its decision on Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard to May 22 after Microsoft submitted remedies to gain approval. The details of the remedies offered were not made public, but Microsoft has recently announced partnerships to bring Call of Duty to new console and cloud gaming platforms. The EU will seek feedback from rivals and customers before ruling on the merger, and asset sales are unlikely to be demanded as part of the approval process.
