The European regulatory authorities approved the acquisition of $69 billion from its Microsoft Activision Blizzard, giving the company a win at a time when the deal is contested in many others countries.
Although the merger could harm competition from some opinions, particularly in the fast-growing gaming services market in cloud, Microsoft's concessions were enough to mitigate antitrust concerns stemming from the deal, the European Commission said in a statement.
Among Microsoft's offers is a ten-year commitment that will allow European consumers to play Activision titles on any cloud gaming service.
Microsoft also pledged not to downgrade the quality or content of its games made available to rivals platforms streaming.
