The European Commission (EC) has given the go-ahead to Microsoft’s proposed $68.7 billion bid for gaming giant Activision.
The EC had set a deadline of 25th April to announce a decision, but it pushed its decision back after receiving further remedies and commitments from Microsoft. It was widely expected that the deal would be rubberstamped today, and that has now been confirmed, with the EC’s final report noting that the approval is “conditional on full compliance with the commitments offered by Microsoft.”
