The U.S. software company is betting on the acquisition to
help it compete better with leaders Tencent and Sony, with the latter being a
critic of the deal.
The European Commission, which is scheduled to finish its
preliminary assessment of the deal by Nov. 8, said its website was up to date.
The site showed that Microsoft had not provided concessions.
Microsoft said it continues to work with the Commission on
the next steps and to address any valid marketplace concerns, such as those
voiced by Sony.
"Sony, as the industry leader, says it is worried about
Call of Duty, but we've said we are committed to making the same game available
on the same day on both Xbox and PlayStation," Microsoft said in a
statement.
Companies typically do not offer remedies during the EU
preliminary review when they know regulators subsequently intend to open a
four-month long investigation.
