The Financial Times leads with the response from Call of Duty computer game maker Activision Blizzard after the UK’s competition regulator blocked Microsoft’s $75bn acquisition of the firm. The Competition and Markets Authority said it was concerned Microsoft could make Activision’s games exclusive to its own cloud gaming service, meaning less choice for gamers. In a strongly worded statement, the broadsheet reports Activision hit back saying: “UK is clearly closed for business.” One shareholder told the FT: “It’s a zombie deal now.”
