微软正在准备“妥协” 以获得对动视暴雪收购的批准

据路透社报道，微软在收购动视暴雪一案上面临着监管机构不小的审查压力，为了使交易顺利完成，微软可能会做出一些让步。

其中之一就是网传报道的10年《使命召唤》PlayStation保留协议，合伙人Stephane Dionnet表示，微软提供这样的让步很可能帮助这笔交易通过审查，但考虑到交易的范围以及监管机构在其他方面的担忧，这可能还不够。

© Microsoft wants to absorb Activision Blizzard at any cost, and the corporation does not intend to wait for the actions of regulators from individual countries. According to the latest information, the Americans want to meet with officials and intend to offer Sony a contract. Reuters reports on Microsoft’s future plans – the company is reportedly preparing “countermeasures” to convince EU officials and get approval to acquire Activision Blizzard. The European Commission has officially launched the second phase of the investigation, which consists of a very thorough examination of the deal, but Microsoft apparently does not want to wait until next year and wants not only to help luck and, above all, to speed up the issuance of approval. According to Reuters, Microsoft wants to prepare a formal 10-year licensing agreement for Sony – Phil Spencer has already made a similar offer to Jim Ryan, but now the corporation apparently wants to make this step official. “Microsoft’s remedy will basically be to enter into a 10-year licensing agreement with Sony, the owner of the PlayStation,” said a person with direct knowledge of Microsoft’s actions. However, the situation is interesting in that the Americans clearly want to conclude an agreement, because they previously offered Sony a 3-year cooperation. At the time, the head of PlayStation stated that the deal proposed by Microsoft was “inadequate in many ways”.
