Microsoft is planning on selling or rather, transferring the cloud gaming rights of Activision Blizzard games over French video game
studio and publisher, Ubisoft. The company is hoping that in doing so, it will appease, to some extent, the bloodlust of regulators in the UK.
It’s a big move for Microsoft, one that it hopes will allow its US$68.7 billion acquisition plan to alleviate the “concerns” of the UK Competition and Markets Authority . At the time of writing, the UK government body has opened a new investigation over the newly restructured deal, and investigations could last until the middle of October this year.
