Now let's see if Microsoft can manage to close the deal today too.

"With the sale of Activision's cloud streaming rights to Ubisoft, we've made sure Microsoft can't have a stranglehold over this important and rapidly developing market," says Sarah Cardell, CEO of the CMA. "As cloud gaming grows, this intervention will ensure people get more competitive prices, better services and more choice. We are the only competition agency globally to have delivered this outcome."

Can MS buy something else now? Bored of Activision-Blizzard

But seriously

Phil has you covered.

Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick sent the following email to employees:

Team,

Today the CMA, the regulatory authority in the UK, approved our transaction with Microsoft.

We now have all regulatory approvals necessary to close and we look forward to bringing joy and connection to even more players around the world.

Our board chair Brian Kelly and I are incredibly proud of all of you and your accomplishments over the last four decades. We're excited for our next chapter together with Microsoft and the endless possibilities it creates for you and for our players.

With gratitude,

Bobby

Told you it would eventually happen when UK blocked the deal first time. But man what a relief.. all this time wanted to slap everyone for that "deal is dead" nonsense.

Wonder if Phil is asleep right now.
