Microsoft appeals against UK’s decision to block ‘Call of Duty’ deal

Weeks after the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) blocked Microsoft’s $69 billion deal with Call of Duty maker Activision Blizzard, the Windows maker has filed an appeal against the decision.

Microsoft lodged the appeal with the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), which handles appeals against CMA rulings.

“We can confirm we have filed our appeal,” news agency Reuters quoted Microsoft communications director Robin Koch as saying.
