Microsoft offered the British regulator a new version of the deal with Activision

Microsoft proposed to the British Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) a new version of the deal for the purchase of Activision Blizzard, reported on the corporate website.

In April, the regulator blocked a merger between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, fearing the tech giant would make games from one of the biggest game developers and publishers exclusive to its own cloud gaming service.

The updated version of the deal assumes that the cloud rights to all existing and released over the next 15 years Activision games will be transferred to Ubisoft Entertainment.

As a result, Microsoft will not be able to “neither release Activision Blizzard games solely on its own cloud streaming service, Xbox Cloud Gaming, nor have sole control over the licensing terms of Activision Blizzard games for competing services,” the corporation said.

The deal became public in January last year. Microsoft announced its approval, calling it the largest in the history of gaming (and his own). The value of the deal with Activision Blizzard is $68.7 billion ($95 per share). According to the Financial Times, if the deal goes through, Microsoft will become the third largest gaming company in terms of revenue after China’s Tencent and Japan’s Sony.

Earlier in July, a court in San Francisco allowed complete the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by a corporation Microsoft. The Federal Trade Commission (FTS) of the United States demanded to temporarily ban it – according to its assessment, the deal will give Microsoft excessive advantage over competitors in the console and cloud gaming markets. In May, the European Commission approved the merger Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, on the condition that Microsoft adhere to a few conditions.
