Another Microsoft problem: New Zealand regulators may oppose the Activision Blizzard deal

While the UK regulator (CMA) and the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are trying to block the deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard in the courts, Phil Spencer's team has a new problem.

Here's What We Know

The New Zealand Trade Commission has conducted its own investigation and come to the preliminary conclusion that the aforementioned deal will have a negative impact on competition in the games industry. This is particularly true for the cloud services market.

Within a month (until July 17), New Zealand regulators are expected to announce a final decision on the matter.
