Hello everyone, I'm Miser
Microsoft's 68.7 billion knife acquisition of Activision Blizzard!
1, Microsoft 68.7 billion knives to acquire Activision Blizzard! Is this the grand finale!
Re-evaluate relationships? Come, call Daddy!
At 9:30 last night, Microsoft suddenly announced that they had thrown 68.7 billion knives and acquired the world-famous EMUS Blizzard, which has "Call of Duty", "World of Warcraft", "StarCraft", "Diablo", "Overwatch", "Candy Crash" and other well-known IPs, which are important in the game industry! After leaving his position as vice president of Games at Microsoft in 19 years to join Blizzard Entertainment, Mike Ybarra, who was just promoted to CEO last year, said: I have completed the task!
At the end of the universe is Microsoft. Before the acquisition is officially completed, Activision Blizzard will also be in an independent operating state, and its games will join the XGP lineup as much as possible!
There is no doubt that this is definitely the most explosive news in two years, and its shocking power is unimaginable, and for a time the online memes are flying all over the sky. After the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft can say that it has become a real behemoth, or host war? After this step, Microsoft and his Xbox, want to conquer the place has long been more than this. The acquisition of B Society, good friends with EA, just reached a cooperation with Ubisoft the other day, which directly took down Activision Blizzard in one fell swoop, the game circle is as far as the eye can see, not my Microsoft people, it is about to be my people. Not kidding, TGA founder Geoff is also very troublesome, listed Microsoft's "possible acquisition list", what EA, T2, Bandai, Ubisoft, Konami, SE, Capcomon, just this little money? The boss settles the account and packs it up and takes it away!
So, brothers, don't commit crimes, you have to mess with me in the end. Through the XGP covering the host, PC, mobile terminal, through time and time again, connecting the way the game can reach, providing the largest and most complete service content, it is not so that Microsoft ended the host war, because in Microsoft's "metaverse", the host is just a step.
Although the space is limited, there are still two families who cannot forget to mention it. According to the news revealed by foreign media, although there is no official statement, after being formally acquired, Activision Blizzard's current CEO Bobby Kotick will leave, and because of the acquisition plus severance compensation, Bobby can still fish another 600 million knives home. As for the game, there is really no content to say now, Call of Duty don't worry, Activision studios, also hope that they can make more content through the new platform; King's mobile game prospects are still very good, Microsoft's side does need more help in the mobile game section; as for the Blizzard that is packaged and sent... I really hope that "Diablo 4" and "Watchman 2" can turn around, yes, milk again, the storm is going to be on fire! (Happy Storm)
In addition, as soon as the news of the acquisition came out, activision Blizzard's stock price soared, and the relative... Sony, which now has mixed feelings, fell out of its lowest closing price since November last year. If the COD is really monopolistic on one day, what can it do if it is out of breath?
