Cloud gaming going let peeps stream games from servers, so no need one supa expensive machine like console foa play. Can use da stuff u already get, like TVs, smartphones, and laptops. Foa example, if one gamer buys one game online, dey can stream um on one cloud gaming service.📱💻🖥
But the main problem is that for cloud gaming to work effectively, there needs to be a large catalog of games available for users to stream. This is where Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of Activision comes into play. By acquiring Activision, Microsoft aims to bolster its game library for the cloud gaming service. This means that gamers will have a wider range of games to choose from and stream on various devices, such as TVs, smartphones, and laptops. It’s like having a virtual game collection at your fingertips! 🎮🌐📱💻🖥
However, the regulators in the United Kingdom and the European Union had concerns about the Microsoft-Activision deal, but they reached different conclusions. The U.K. regulators blocked the takeover, while the European Commission gave it the green light. Microsoft presented similar solutions to both regulators, but the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority deemed Microsoft’s proposals insufficient. The CEO of the CMA criticized the EU’s decision, stating that it would allow Microsoft to dominate the market and regulate the games, platforms, and conditions of sale for the next ten years. The CMA stands by its decision, expressing concerns about the potential impact on competition. 🇬🇧🚫🌍
Despite the EU approval, Microsoft still faces challenges in convincing other regulators, including the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Sony, that the Activision acquisition will not harm competition. The case between Microsoft and the FTC is ongoing, and there has been close cooperation between the EU and the FTC regarding the matter. The story is far from over, and we will continue to watch for the next chapter in this gaming saga. 🤝🌍🔍💥
