The UK will finally issue its ruling on Microsoft's $68.7bn attempt to buy Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard this week, following months of deliberation.
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is one of three key regulators around the world still scrutinising Microsoft's deal, alongside the US Federal Trade Commission and the EU's European Commission.
A final ruling by the CMA must arrive before the end of its deadline day - this Wednesday, 26th April - and Microsoft has recently had reason to hope its efforts to win over the UK authority will ultimately prove successful.
