BRUSSELS, Oct 6 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators are asking games developers whether Microsoft will be incentivised to block rivals' access to "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard's best-selling games, according to an EU document seen by Reuters.
The Premier League's overseas fees were split equally between the 20 clubs until 2019, when a merit-based element was introduced, but performance-related payments only account for £77m of the £1.06bn paid out to the clubs last season.

Accrington Stanley owner Andy Holt came in for criticism at a meeting of League One clubs this week for his habit of discussing major issues facing the game on social media rather than attending EFL meetings.
The suit also references an October 8, 2019 text message from an MGM representative that read, 'OK, let's do this: I need you (to) email me that we are closing the case and that you will no longer contact (the Borgata president) or the DGE about the case,' referring to the Division of Gaming Enforcement.
It will be the first time a professional Australian e-sports team joins a global league on a permanent basis, NBL Oz Gaming to be based in the United States and join fellow expansion sides from Shanghai and Mexico City in the 25-team competition.
Games developers, publishers and distributors were asked whether the deal would affect their bargaining power regarding the terms for selling console and Pkv Poker PC games via Microsoft's Xbox and its cloud game streaming service Game Pass.
Three of those turnovers came in the first quarter before Simmons had managed a single assist, the Heat defence anticipating a pass from the Australian who has faced intense criticism over his reluctance to shoot.
In a break from tradition, FIFA will not hold their Congress before the tournament and there have been no meetings of the confederations scheduled to take place in Qatar either, which will reduce the chances of co-ordinated moves from opponents to unseat Infantino.

Antar played live dealer blackjack and online slots, sometimes for 24 hours straight, he said in his lawsuit; he bet more than $5 million in one 16-day period in January 2020.
During the nine month period covered in the suit, he made more than 100,000 online bets.
The earnings ratio of the Premier League's top to bottom club has narrowed from 1.8/1 to 1.5/1 over the past three years, with champions Manchester City picking up £153.1million in TV earnings last season compared to bottom club Norwich City's pot of £100.6m.
Antar is a convicted fraudster who faces the prospect of additional prison time in November for a scheme in which he cheated friends and relatives of money he used to feed his compulsive gambling habit.
