Activision Blizzard has canceled its World of Warcraft mobile game, Bloomberg reported.

Hoping to push through with its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft is now trying to please antitrust regulators by saying that the massive video game developer and publisher has no “must have” games. According to new reports, Xbox‘s parent company made a filing with New Zealand’s Commerce Commission stating that the company doesn’t produce any titles that Microsoft finds particularly attractive or necessary. “There is nothing unique about the video games developed and published by Activision Blizzard that is a ‘must have’ for rival PC and console video game distributors that give rise to a foreclosure concern,” the filing wrote. On the flip side, it’s hardly likely that a studio with no “must have” games would justify a $68.7 billion USD buyout price, as Sony points out. In anot...
