London, September 28 (RHC)-- Microsoft is on track to complete the largest-ever merger of technology firms, after British regulators approved its $69 billion purchase of the video game maker Activision Blizzard.

This move comes after a federal judge in July refused the Biden administration’s request to issue a temporary injunction stopping the merger, citing antitrust laws. 

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission argued the merger would hurt competition in the video game industry.
