Undoubtably one of the biggest moves in the history of this great industry, #Microsoft announced they intend to acquire #ActivisionBlizzard in an all-cash transaction valued at $68.7 billion.
#Microsoft will become the world’s third-largest gaming company by revenue, behind #Tencent and #Sony. #Warcraft, #Diablo, #Overwatch #CallofDuty #CandyCrush are just some of the iconic franchise that will reside under Microsoft.
