Hello everyone! I'm the Black Lord! Welcome to today's esports news! Old rules, first comment after reading the text, the game open black quasi super god!
Just at 9 p.m., Microsoft's game division, Xbox, officially announced that Microsoft had fully acquired Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion! Game circle This is a big earthquake! Microsoft's power to interpret what is called money can really do whatever you want, and this deal is also Microsoft's largest acquisition transaction to date.
It seems that Microsoft is vowing to make a splash in the gaming field, before which Microsoft had acquired "Minecraft" producer Mojang for $2.5 billion and bought Bethesda for $7.5 billion. After completing the acquisition, Microsoft will become the world's third-largest game company, with Only Tencent and Sony left ahead of it. You know, Microsoft Xbox has 25 million users worldwide, and Activision Blizzard currently has 400 million monthly active players in 190 countries and regions around the world.
Let's imagine that the future Call of Duty, Warcraft, StarCraft, Hearthstone, etc., which we play, will all enter the Xbox Game Pass library. What is this concept? I reckon the head of the gaming divisions at Tencent and Sony will be losing sleep tonight.
Microsoft's operation may be another strategic layout after it occupies the platform ecology, preempting users with games and terminal devices, or opening up a second lifeline of strategic deployment.
Another interesting thing about this acquisition is that mike Ybarra, a former vice president of Microsoft, joined Activision Blizzard after leaving, and Mike Ybarra just said that he will do everything he can to provide better content and experiences for gamers. This side of the company was acquired by Microsoft again. Is this fate, Microsoft: small sample, want to leave, no way!
Of course, it may also be an internal arrangement that has been known for a long time, in any case, working at Microsoft for 20 years, mike Ybarra, who was mainly responsible for the XBOX series, has a wealth of experience, and after this acquisition, I believe that it will play a very positive role in helping the current unstable Blizzard.
What do you think about this acquisition? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area!
