The Hill reports: “Microsoft and Activision Blizzard have extended the deadline for the tech giant’s acquisition of the game developer, Activision Blizzard announced Wednesday. The deadline, which would have been this week, has been pushed to Oct. 18, and the companies are still facing hurdles by U.K. regulators to approve the deal. As part of the extension, there will be a higher termination fee and new commercial arrangements, according to Activision.”
