Activision Blizzard Games Must Appear on Competing Cloud Services [May 16, 2023, 10:50 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A tweet from
Brad Smith outlines one of the consequences of the EU
Commission approval of the proposed Microsoft/Activision Blizzard merger.
Presumably, this hinges on the deal going through. The Microsoft vice chair and
president explains that "popular" Activision Blizzard games must be
automatically served through competing cloud services worldwide:
The European Commission has required Microsoft to license popular Activision Blizzard games automatically to competing cloud gaming services. This will apply globally and will empower millions of consumers worldwide to play these games on any device they choose.

but let's face it the cloud gaming market isn't a thing and likely won't be a thing
Is that a typo?
Did you mean, "is a thing" and "will continue to be a thing" ?
- xbox cloud gaming which is for all intents and purposes a gamepass addon
- geforce now which is cloud access to your existing library
- amazon luna which is a weird hybrid of the other two, but effectively is a prime addon
- ps now I think it's called, sony's half hearted addon to ps plus
This isn't exactly a sign that things are prosperous or even really growing. Perhaps someone will come up with a big breakthrough that pushes people to cloud gaming, but it just isn't there now.
