Yet on Wednesday the CMA said a restructured deal between Microsoft and Activision could satisfy its concerns, subject to a new investigation.
On Friday it extended its deadline to either accept final undertakings or make a final order by six weeks to Aug. 29, although it said it would aim to do it as soon as possible and before that date.
The U.S. FTC on Thursday was still trying to halt the deal by asking the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for a “temporary pause” on the companies closing it.
