Summary
That scrutiny has paid off: Microsoft has committed in writing, in public, and in court to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for 10 years on parity with Xbox.

The Competition and Markets Authority in their decision to block Microsofts Acquisition of Activision Blizzard has received a lot of backlash from the British government, with many MPs questioning whether or not the UK was still "open for business". Microsoft now has less than a week to close their acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which means that we should be hearing a lot of new information about the deal over the next few days.
