While in the United States, the FTC can blatantly say no and sue you if you do something to have you gain competitive advantage on any market that you are, in Europe they go a little more easy with a “warning” as a signal that you are not getting your way.

And that officially happened over the weekend where the European Union Commission has officially warned Microsoft of antitrust on his deal to buy Activision Blizzard.

It was a big speculation during the weekend that Microsoft was preparing itself for being officially warned which technically creates another roadblock on buying Activision Blizzard and maybe just behind the FTC lawsuit as main problems.

Sources of Politico claim that Microsoft was aware that they would get warned since this past Tuesday and have stated that they are listening carefully to the European Commission's concerns and are confident they can address them.

Apparently, they have listened to Sony as the main concern and focus of the further scrutiny is how Microsoft will react with Call Of Duty mainly, when it become owner of its publisher and developers studio, despite Microsoft claiming that Sony rejected a 10 years deal after the current one expire, offer tha Valve and Nintendo respectively accepted for Steam and Nintendo Switch.

Sony's stance is that Microsoft gaining much power is to undermine their ability to compete on purpose and all offerings for Call Of Duty and Playstation are inadequate “in any level”.
