"Tough and fair": Brad Smith backtracks on CMA spat after 2023 regulatory battle
Microsoft president Brad Smith has moderated his criticism of the UK's Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) after the regulator approved Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Initially, Smith had harshly criticized the CMA's decision to block the $68.7 billion deal, suggesting it harmed the UK's business environment. However, he now describes the decision as 'tough and fair,' acknowledging that it pushed Microsoft to modify the acquisition terms. The CMA's concerns led Microsoft to transfer cloud streaming rights for Activision's titles to Ubisoft, allowing the deal to close on October 13, 2023. The deal is still under investigation by the US Federal Trade Commission. The article also references similar regulatory tensions involving OpenAI's Sam Altman and the European Union.
