Microsoft's UK deal with Activision Blizzard under scrutiny by EU and UK officials.
TL;DR Summary
An official from the European Union has stated that the UK regulator, Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), had overstated Microsoft's market share in the cloud gaming market as it included Xbox Game Pass subscribers who don't use cloud gaming. The official added that the cloud gaming market isn't a separate market in the video game industry, but is instead a small segment of the overall gaming market. The European Union recently approved Microsoft's $67.8 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
