UK business minister Kemi Badenoch has defended the Competition and Market Authority's decision to block the Microsoft-Activision deal.
As reported by Reuters, the UK government's Secretary of State for Business and Trade was questioned about Microsoft president Brad Smith's comment that the CMA block was "bad for Britain" and that the CMA has a "flawed understanding" of cloud streaming services.
Despite the deal having gone through in Europe, Badenoch noted that the agreement has yet to be approved in the United States (although Microsoft is able to complete the transaction following its legal battle with the Federal Trade Commission).
