Today's News:
* According to a report from Reuters, the European Union is currently expected to give their approval for Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard. It was reported that the reason why the EU did not approve MS's deal earlier was due to similar issues that Sony and others claimed over the worries that Call of Duty's massive status and impact in the gaming industry shouldn't be made exclusive to just one platform or brand. EU ended up being satisfied with MS's recent deal with Nintendo for CoD support and promises to keep CoD multi-platform for at least the next 10 years.
