WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Canada’s Department of Justice told lawyers for Microsoft that it had concluded that the deal to buy Activision “is likely to” lead to less competition in some aspects of gaming, according to a court filing on Thursday.
In a letter dated Wednesday, the bureau said that it had communicated to Microsoft and Activision that the deal would likely lead to less competition in “gaming consoles and multigame subscription services (as well as
cloud gaming).”
