And it'll come before April.
Microsoft’s planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard will reportedly receive an EU antitrust warning.
The report comes from Reuters, which states that Microsoft will receive the warning, which sets out the entity’s objections to the acquisition, ahead of the EU’s 11 April decision deadline.
The EU’s antitrust warning follows actions already taken by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and the USA’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Microsoft is expected to offer concessions to seal the deal — and had already taken to the public to detail offers of a 10-year deal with PlayStation (and others) to keep Call of Duty multiplatform.
The acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft has already been approved by governing bodies in Serbia, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
