We continue to defoliate the daisy of the purchase process of Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft. A 70 billion dollar agreement, if the antitrust institutions of the countries do not prevent it, will allow the merger of the two companies. And although there are countries that have already given their consent, such as Saudi Arabia, the two main ones have not yet done so. While the FTC has taken the case to court, the CMA, the British body, still has no final verdict as it continues to gather information and opinions.
The last was that of the players themselves, who were able to express their feelings and their opinion on this purchase thanks to a survey carried out by the British body.
Gamers are in favor of buying Activision
Thus, in mid-October 2022, the aforementioned institution allowed players to express their opinion regarding the purchase process via email. and the CMA published the results today From these surveys, he received more than 2100 emails. And the results are quite favorable for the acquisition of the purchase, since 75% of them approved or were in favor of the purchase
What conclusion can we draw from this? That a large majority of the gaming community agrees with this acquisition. Something that also happens with the rest of the industry, where only Sony remains against a buying process that, for the moment, does not stop making headlines for us.
Public responses to the UK CMA were overwhelmingly supportive of the Xbox x Activision Blizzard merger.
“We invited responses from the public. Of the 2,100 emails we reviewed, about three-quarters were overall in favor of the merger.”https://t.co/BpL7BgN6qY pic.twitter.com/c05Gh9gXfe
