The CMA in the UK has said it will make a decision based on Microsoft's 'substantially different' revised deal in October.
that it has received a new restructured deal as detailed by Microsoft. As a refresher, the deal sees Microsoft foregoing cloud rights to Activision Blizzard titles and instead handing them to Ubisoft for at least the next 15 years.
The chief executive described the new deal as “substantially different” from the last which seems hopeful, for Microsoft at least. “Ubisoft will also be able, for a fee, to require Microsoft to adapt Activision’s titles to operating systems other than Windows, such as Linux, if it decides to use or license out the cloud streaming rights to Activision’s titles to a cloud gaming service that runs a non-Windows operating system,” the CMA adds.
