Microsoft became the third largest gaming company in the world

It was Tuesday evening when cyberspace was bombarded with incredible news; Microsoft bought Activision Studio for $ 69 billion. Yes, Microsoft, which some time ago became the world’s largest and most valuable company, bought one of the world’s gaming giants. And with that, Bill Gates and his friends became the third largest gaming company. Of course, this was accompanied by a lot of margins, some of which we will be with you in the following.

After coming to terms with this news, it was time to determine whether all Activision games, such as the Call of Duty franchise, would become Microsoft-exclusive.

Microsoft announced in the early hours that the popular Activision Blizzard games will be added to the Xbox Game Pass service as soon as possible; But no decision has yet been made to monopolize the games. Of course, some of the popular Activision games will definitely become Microsoft exclusives, but it is not yet clear which games will fall into this category.

The Sony CEO also said in a recent interview that he hopes Microsoft will continue its friendly relationship with Sony, not turning all Activision games into its own, and will continue to release them for PlayStation consoles.

On the other hand, due to the problems and margins related to harassment in the workplace of Activision, the CEO of this company, Bobby Kotick, has been under a lot of pressure, and now, with the purchase of Activision, the pressures on this manager have increased; The Wall Street Journal thinks that Bobby Kotick will step down after the agreement between Activision and Microsoft is finalized in 2023.

However, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has confirmed that Bobby Kotick can still continue to serve as CEO of Activision Blizzard.
