According to a Bloomberg report, Google, Nvidia and Sony have all voiced their worries to the FTC over Microsoft’s planned $69 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard.

It has been said that Microsoft’s potential acquisition of Activision Blizzard would give it an edge in the cloud, subscription, and mobile gaming areas, prompting the two companies to oppose the move. Nonetheless, one source mentioned to Bloomberg that Nvidia does not have a strong stance against it, but they do emphasize fairness in terms of availability of video game titles.

The document does not provide details about the fears of either firm. Microsoft is doing well in cloud gaming when compared to Nvidia’s GeForce Now, while Google’s Stadia was discontinued last year. Nevertheless, Microsoft has a quite small presence in mobile gaming.

Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, indicated that the purpose of Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard’s mobile King division was to be the focus of the acquisition. Documents in relation to this transaction revealed that Microsoft desires to use King to form a new Xbox Mobile Platform.

Nvidia and Google have joined Sony in bringing matters to the attention of governmental authorities about the purchase; these two, however, appear to be less forceful in their dispute. In 2020, the FTC declared its aim to contest Microsoft’s acquisition to halt its likelihood of taking away the contest of rivals in the console-producing world. Comparably, the Competition and Markets Authority of the UK has voiced similar worries.

Throughout the past few months, Microsoft has been striving to resolve any misgivings, such as making a deal to maintain the Call of Duty franchise on PlayStation for up to a decade, and a pledge to bring the franchise to Nintendo consoles too.

The level of involvement Nvidia and Google will have going forward is uncertain, but both companies could presumably be invited to testify in court at the time of the FTC’s lawsuit trial which, per Bloomberg, is scheduled for the month of August 2021.
