Sarah Cardell, Director General of the UK Competition and Markets Authority, discusses Microsoft's (MSFT) $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard (ATVI).

This breaks Microsoft's potential monopoly in the cloud gaming sector. She also mentions other ongoing investigations, including the Adobe Figma merger and a new investigation into cloud infrastructure services
