The EC has expressed its concerns about the purchase of Activision Blizzard recently, especially in the cloud gaming section, which enters right into dispute with Sony itself and Microsoft. It is for this reason and that, given the scramble and decision-making, the final decision of the European Commission already has a final date.
Microsoft officially presented the documents and commitments regarding its merger with ABK before the European Commission. Given this, it seems that the EC has delayed its decision deadline until May 22, so we still have two months ahead of us.
The final decision of the European Commission will be decided on May 22, 2023
The final decision of the European Commission has been scheduled for May 22 of this yearso that day will be the limit that the organization will have to apply definitively in the situation of the purchase of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft.
With quite surreal situations after the delivery of more than 3 million documents between Activision Blizzard and Microsoft before the FTC, and quite aggressive statements by Jim Ryan in his intention to block the purchase agreement and the merger, we can say that with each passing day it is a day that we are closer to having an absolute confirmation by all agencies on this issue.

Having said this and before the final decision of the European Commission, we hope that the situation of the purchase of Activision Blizzard unclog as we get closer to the closing date of the agreement that Microsoft put just a few days ago. The objective of this is for the gaming community to be calm, and to finally put an end to this soap opera that seems to have no end.
