Following Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Serbia, the deal between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard has been approved by the state

регуляторная комиссия Чили.

What is known

According to information published on the officialwebsite of the regulator, the Chilean commission sees no danger from the merger of the two giants, either for the gaming market in general, or for Chilean consumers in particular.

According to the members of the commission, there are so many strong companies in the video game industry that Microsoft does not have the potential for a monopoly in this industry.

Among the dominant developers they nameElectronic Arts, Take Two, Ubisoft, Epic Games, Sony and Nintendo, which together provide consistently high competition and, in their opinion, will not be affected by the merger of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard.

Что ж, одобрение Чили – это хорошо, но The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and regulators in the EU and UK are looking very closely at the potential implications of the deal, and so far do not share the views of their Chilean colleagues.
