CMA opens new investigation into $69bn acquisition as tech firm offers to sell cloud gaming rights to Ubisoft

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on Tuesday said it would investigate the new proposals, under which Microsoft will not acquire cloud rights outside Europe for existing Activision desktop computer and console games, or for new games released by the developer during the next 15 years.
