"UK CMA Approves Microsoft/Activision Blizzard Merger, Despite Backtracking"

TL;DR Summary
The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has backtracked and stated that it could approve Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard more quickly than expected, following the software giant's legal victory against the U.S Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The CMA aims to discharge its duty and issue a revised decision within a few weeks, allowing Microsoft to acquire the gaming firm with regulatory approval. This decision will miss the previous deadline but is expected to be accommodated by both parties involved.
