To address this concern, the European Commission outlined several “remedies” to protect the European cloud gaming industry from a potential Microsoft monopoly. These included providing free licenses to consumers in the European Economic Area to stream all current and future Activision Blizzard PC and console games via any cloud game streaming services of their choice. Microsoft must also provide a corresponding free license to cloud game streaming providers to allow EEA-based gamers to stream any of Activision Blizzard’s PC or console games. These remedies will be binding for 10 years.
