They've made deals with GeforceNow to keep ATVI games on there though.
- InsomniacL 3y agoWhy can't Microsoft buy the services they want from Activision without buying Activision itself. The only reason I can think is to prevent others from using those services which is anti-competitive and harms the general public. I'm aware it happens all the time elsewhere.
- sylens 3y agoBecause they want King for the mobile gaming aspect. They were preparing to launch a mobile game store on iOS once sideloading is allowed (rumored to be soon in Europe if not everywhere)
- madeofpalk 3y agoWhy can't Microsoft buy the services they want (King) from Activision without buying Activision itself?
- fauxpause_ 3y agoThey don’t want services, they want to own the product and grow those product revenues
- InsomniacL 3y agoThey might claim that... I suspect what the really want is to make the acquired products/services an exclusive of their own platform.

- InsomniacL 3y agoThen they should commission King to create content for their platform, or make their platform competitive with IOS/Play/Samsung stores to attract publishers. Platforms buying their content creators to make them exclusives is anti-competitive so I'm glad the CMA has done something, wish they would do it more often.
