CMA: Microsoft you dumb idiots, you should have offered this Cloud concession to us at the start!

Also CMA in February 2023:

At this stage, the CMA has identified the following possible structural remedies

(a) Requiring a partial divestiture of Activision Blizzard, Inc. This may be

(i) Divestiture of the business associated with Call of Duty,
(ii) Divestiture of the Activision segment of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (the Activision segment), which would include the business associated with Call of Duty,
(iii) Divestiture of the Activision segment and the Blizzard segment (the Blizzard segment) of Activision Blizzard, Inc., which would include the business associated with Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, among other title

(b) Prohibition of the merger.

CMA: We hate behavioural remedies, we can't monitor them.

Also CMA now:

"A Monitoring Trustee to oversee the Parties' compliance with the Proposed Undertakings, if required by the CMA. The Parties will also be required to provide annual compliance reports to the CMA setting out the steps taken to ensure compliance with the undertakings. The Proposed Undertakings require the Parties to comply with the dispute resolution provisions included in the Ubisoft Divestment Agreement, encompassing a fast-track escalation process and arbitration, and require the Parties to keep the CMA informed of any dispute referred to the fast- track escalation process".
