Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, June 20, after the UK blocked Microsoft's $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, New Zealand regulators issued a statement expressing concern about cloud game-related issues and extending the final decision date to July 17.

"at this stage, our investigation focuses on whether the proposed acquisition is likely to significantly reduce market competition due to the vertical impact of video game distribution of cloud gaming services. We are concerned that the merger of the two may partially or completely prevent their competitors in cloud games (such as Sony or Nvidia) from accessing Activision content, especially call of Duty, thereby undermining competition in cloud games and having a negative impact. "

At present, Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard has been approved in more than 40 countries and regions, including the European Union, China, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Chile, Serbia and South Africa.

However, Microsoft's two key markets are against it: the US and the UK. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has decided to block the deal, forcing Microsoft and Activision Blizzard to appeal to the Competition Court (CAT), which is expected to rule by the end of July.
