Alphabet Inc.’s GOOGL GOOG Google and Nvidia Inc. NVDA have raised concerns with regulators that Microsoft Corp.’s MSFT proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc. ATVI could give the tech giant an unfair competitive advantage, according to a new report.
Bloomberg News reported late Thursday that the two companies provided information to the Federal Trade Commission that the deal could give Microsoft advantages in cloud, subscription and mobile gaming markets. That could give additional ammunition to the FTC’s effort to block the deal. Microsoft makes the Xbox videogame console, and there are concerns that also owning one of the largest videogame publishers will give it an unfair advantage, and potentially block competing consoles from popular games.
