People can submit their opinions to the CMA at this email address:microsoft.activision@cma.gov.uk.
The CMA first conducted a Phase 1 investigation to determine if there would be “competition concerns.”
The sale did not pass this, so it is now elevated to Phase 2.
The CMA is seeking the public’s opinion on the deal as part of this.
If there are no competition concerns, the deal can go through as intended.
Should there be concerns, however, the CMA will “decide how these should be remedied.”
This could include “selling part of the business or prohibiting the merger altogether.”
For the Microsoft-Activision Blizzard case, there are four panelists in charge of making the decision.
