In a surprising move by the UK Competition and Markets Authority, they have blocked Microsoft’s purchase of Activision Blizzard not over the primary concerns of owning the Call of Duty IP but expanding their monopoly over Cloud gaming.
A particular issue I am interested in raised by the UK is Microsoft’s cloud gaming service “was not sufficiently open to providers who might wish to offer versions of games on PC operating systems other than Windows” I do wonder aside from Apple operating system if the UK is considering open source operating systems like Linux/Ubuntu as something that needs to be considered when providing technological support.
