Microsoft Corp is expected to secure EU antitrust approval for its $69 billion acquisition of Activision by offering licencing deals to competitors, according to three people familiar with the matter. Microsoft President Brad Smith said last month that the company was ready to offer rivals licencing deals to address antitrust concerns, but that it would not sell Activisions lucrative Call of Duty franchise. Microsoft has signed 10year licencing deals with Nintendo and Nvidia to bring Call of Duty to their respective gaming platforms, with the agreements contingent on the Activision deal being approved. The deal faces regulatory challenges in the United Kingdom, where the UK Competition Commission has suggested that Microsoft divest Call of Duty, and in the United States, where the FTC has requested that Microsoft divest Call of Duty.
