Microsoft and Activision Blizzard: The consequences of the hook …. acquisition
As we reported this morning, Microsoft acquired the hugely popular developer Activision Blizzard for a total of 70 billion dollars. Of course, PlayStation gamers panicked: Will Activision titles become Xbox exclusive?
Actually no, and to clarify it is the CEO of Activision Blizzard himself Bobby Kotick. He announced that events and forums will soon take place, so as to give the opportunity to clarify what will be the future of the brand after the official entry into the big family of the big X.
In reality, the fears of the fans are, at least on paper, averted. Microsoft has in fact repeatedly declared that it wants the interest of gamers and to endorse the concept of crossplatform. Thesis also confirmed by Bloomberg, which reports that the plans for the future are to continue release titles for all platforms, with however some Xbox exclusives.
