Comments made by people

The CMA said that“We are concerned that Microsoft could use its control over popular games like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft post-merger to harm rivals, including recent and future rivals in multi-game subscription services and cloud gaming,” Sorcha O’Carroll, senior director of mergers at the CMA, said. “We’re ready to work with the CMA on the next steps and address any of its concerns,” Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president, and vice chair said. “Sony, as the industry leader, says it is worried about Call of Duty, but we’ve said we are committed to making the same game available on the same day on both Xbox and PlayStation.” “Microsoft should be concerned because like in the US right now, UK merger enforcement is quite unpredictable,” said Jennifer Rie, an antitrust analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. “I believe they are willing to offer concessions intended to resolve it,” Rie said.
