Microsoft's deal to buy Activision boosted by US judge

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Microsoft's deal to buy Activision boosted by US judge

A US court boosted Microsoft’s deal to buy Call of Duty maker

Microsoft has been given the green light to buy the videogame maker Activision in a $69bn deal.

A US court has given Microsoft the green light to buy the videogame maker Activision Blizzard in a deal worth $69bn. Microsoft said after the US win, it would focus on resolving concerns around competition in the UK. The tech giant's merger with the Call of Duty owner would be the biggest deal of its kind in gaming industry history.

Bank of America has been ordered to pay out $150m (£116m) in penalties after it was found to have opened credit cards without customers' permission.
