The Competition and Markets Authority in U.K. has ruled against the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, largely citing Microsoft’s strong position in cloud gaming and how ownership of series like Call of Duty, Overwatch, and World of Warcraft could unfairly monopolize the future of video games. No mention was made of the Skylanders series. – Joel

Minnie told me to stay calm, but this is ridiculous! HOT DOG! I’ll show him where he can shove… well a hot dog!!” -Bryan
