Phil Spencer reveals that Microsoft has signed a 10 year cloud gaming partnership with a company named EE.
This partnership looks to be another peck by Microsoft to bump up the odds of acquiring Blizzard. The long and slow route looks promising for the tech giant! The agreement promises to bring Blizzard games through cloud computing to EE’s customers.
For those who are not familiar with EE, they are one of the biggest network providers in the UK. Their mobile networks are claimed to be the fastest and largest in the country. In addition to their 4G/5G and broadband services, they also own a retail line in the UK. The retail stores sell mobile devices, laptops and everything in between.
