Activision to Be Bought by Microsoft

I think "cleared" is the key word missing from the HN title, that is in the actual headline.

"Activision cleared to be bought by Microsoft"

But actually that English is still weirdly tortured... "Microsoft's revised proposal to acquire Activision approved by UK regulators" seems to be the minimum viable non-ambiguous sentence AFAICT

Anybody said monopoly?

It's not a monopoly, so say it if you want? It's not ideal but of the options available to ActiBlizzKing I'd say it's probably best.
