City AM quotes Rebecca Burford on the CMA's decision to block the Activision Blizzard-Microsoft deal
The CMA's decision to block Microsoft's $75bn takeover of the games publisher Activision Blizzard is one of its most far-reaching decisions in years and is huge for the video gaming sector.
Rebecca Burford, Partner, provides comment for City AM:
"The announcement means that gaming companies globally might have to carefully consider their 5–10-year plans and growth and exit strategies, and importantly decide whether any exit strategy that may have involved targeting a significant acquirer is impacted by this decision. they need to pull some of their plans for growth or acquisitions forward."
