The United Kingdom’s government is in the process of analyzing the proposed sale of Activision Blizzard to Microsoft a process that has been contentious so far. However, things are looking to only get more chaotic as the next chapter in this legal saga unfolds. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is now inviting any person to weigh in.
People have been commenting on the deal at great length so far on social media, but this is the first time that the CMA has officially announced it is seeking public commentary around the proposed sale. “At this point we invite anyone, including members of the public, to share their views with us,” the CMA wrote on its website.
Naturally, it’s expected that some people will grief the system and send in less-than-serious opinions about the deal. After all, debates in online circles have been active and heated, namely due to Call of Duty’s multiplatform status appearing to be in question, among other high-profile issues.
