Tech giant president issues stinging attack over blocking of $69bn takeover of Activision Blizzard
Microsoft’s president said the EU is a better place to start a business than Britain post-Brexit, as he launched a stinging attack on the UK’s decision to block a $69bn (£55bn) deal to takeover Activision Blizzard.
Brad Smith said people around the world were “shocked” by the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) ruling against the takeover of the Call of Duty developer, suggesting it would cause businesses to think twice about investing and growing their businesses in the UK.
