Executive vice president for corporate affairs and CCO Lulu Cheng Meservey took to Twitter to address “speculation” regarding the ongoing antitrust investigations currently being carried out by various global regulators.“Any suggestion that the transaction could have anticompetitive effects is absurd.“This merger will benefit gamers and the US gaming industry — especially as we face stiffer competition from abroad.
“We’re committed to continuing to work cooperatively with regulators around the globe to allow the transaction to proceed, but won’t hesitate to fight to defend the transaction if that’s needed.”
rightly so
Sony doesn't realise them going against this deal will make Activision stop working with them and partner with Microsoft on stuff example xbox getting all of the cod benefits ps players get right now
Who gives af as long as cod is on ps who gives a damn all I know is cod is on ps5 this year next year all else fails they'll uust use a ps owned studio to make a game better than cod ps all 🌟 ring a 🔔 🥴😭
Based
The deal is set to be done late 2035 when the Uk finishes phase 6.
It is essentially MS saying 'fuck competition, let's buy everyone' in some kinda power move. It isn't quite a monopoly - but you make another acquisition after like Ubisoft or EA & things look dicey.
Google buy companies all the time, noone bothers. Microsoft buys a game company, everyone loses their shit. I dont like MS but come one. This is just Sony's crybaby complaint
I would fight for the ppl wanting to give me 69 billion dollars too
I can't see how M$ being the dominant player in the market place , they already own Bethesda ALL its back catalogue, Minecraft etc, and owning Activision and Blizzard with ALL its back catalogue from both companies, is any good for the players
They are as sick of waiting for this deal to go through as well as Microsoft
GOOD, as they should.
They’ll fight for acquisition, but not fight to remove Bobby Kotick, despite multiple accusations, sexual harassment/assault claims within the company and the public begging you to hold Bobby accountable. I guess if you’re rich enough, you can get away with anything.
Its not going to go well for Sony no matter what happens. Activision is mad, they could give all future exclusives to MS. They could even make COD exclusive themselves for a chunk of that 70b.
Ah but its all good when Disney owns every fucking thing. No legal challenge there
Ofc they won't. They're being bought out and hopefully getting rid of the toxic environment. It's literally the only way that company would survive.
First it’s 64 Billion then 66 Billion now 69 Billion get your math right
The only people upset by it being investigated are Xbox fanboys.
Me going to a Nike store to buy some shoes and a random person that likes the same shoes tells me that I can't buy them That's what I'm getting from this and it makes no sense 🤣😂
Imagen if Blizzard fights as hard against sexual herassment in their company as for the Microsoft deal.
you mean Activision defending their money lol
Lmaooo not everyone ignoring what bobby kotick gets out of this
Yes please explain to the FTC how you mucked up a company some consumers have invested 26 years into your recent complete and utter failures and uncooperation, but now you want the bailout from the company we have 17 years of networking loyalty with and longer on the OS side.
Of course they would fight for it the top executives are the ones making bank off the deal
Plot twist Activision offers to make All of its titles exclusive to Xbox.
😂😂😂😂😂
Sony’s reaction.
It should be noted that this deal effectively saves Bobby Kotick and allows him to stay as the CEO of actiblizz. I strongly suspect from the very beginning that Bobby wants this deal to go through just so his reign continues and I don't fucking understand why MS is ok with it
What about fighting for the rights of the sexual harassment victims?
You can kiss this goodbye no matter what happens Sony while you're so busy lying and playing the victim card
I just want more Spyro and Toys for Bob to be free for any COD project.
An executive with a golden parachute will fight for it.
Looks like sony loses either way if this deal goes through or not lmao
Sounds more like the guy whose 'Golden Parachute' depends on the deal going through
Xbox and Activision are getting really sweaty, as a PlayStation fan I might say just let them have it, I feel a little pity for them
I just want Bobby Kotick gone. Why is he STILL there?
MS must Win. Gamers Will enjoy só much cod and wow on gamepass
Their is Zero reason this deal has not been completed already. Sony just is upset that they will not get exclusive content anymore and afraid of game pass. Sony fans will still get their Call of Duty for 70 bucks. Game pass subscribers will get it as part of their subscription.
Big greedy company willing to fight for money money from another big greedy company.... I'm shocked 😮🤦♂️
Well this turned out to be a shitstorm
All to XboxGamePass , clony can suck it 🤮
“Our shareholders wont hesitate to fight for their millions!!”
Good.
I don't get it, if Activision themselves want to do it, why can Jim Ryan and others say, 'Sorry company I have no steaks in, but I don't want you to'? Seems unfair that no one else is subject to this also.
imagine if they put such effort into defending their female employees
Of course they are going to defend it there getting 69 billion for it
They should tell Sony to mind your business And stop trying to mess up dear money
Of course Bobby Kotick would try and do this. He needs his golden parachute whilst he still has a chance to get away with the abuse scandals and hide the fact that he's inside Epstein's black book. I care little for the actual acquisition. Stopped buying their stuff 3 years ago
I have feeling it’s more like Bobby Kotick wants his golden parachute from Microsoft, it’s precisely the reason why he aimed to sell Activision to the highest bidder, to escape from his legal troubles at the company and get away scott free.
👀😂🤣☠️
The best thing about this is all the geeks tagging the CMA and calling them all sorts of horrible names or how the uk is “weak” yet it’s America that’s stopping the deal …lol
Hope they Can start fighting sexual harassment first
Aka no ones is FUCKING with our retirement plans and our money and if you do don't expect us to make it easy on your platform for cod players and no 60 to 70 dollar games we'll be moving that price up and be putting the Cross progression cross play behind paywalls
Once the deal goes through than Sony won't have to worry about losing cod they won't have it at All. Keep fucking it up for them Ponies Jimbo I'm here for it.
If this does go through we could finally start getting games from Activision besides only just call of duty.
Lol this is gonna take forever to conclude
the only reason why I want this deal to go through is because of the developers who will lose their jobs if it doesn't
Of course they do. $69 is a massive amount. To put into perspective, it’ll take about 20 years of gamepass subs to pay it off. Truth is if they desperately want to sell them they should go with a non platform holder. Xbox taking existing multiplatform IPs away from gamers is bad.
Can this hurry up and end already? I swear this deal not only made me hate gaming twitter more, but also made me start unfollowing some YouTubers that I used to respect.
It is So funny these un...knowing people report this, the Stock Holders are missing money if it don't go through. yes they Fight and MS has the best Lawyers and ABK has some of the BEST so im sure Sony and Google Crying is the least of the worries.
I would want to fight for that huge paycheck too! This isn't one bit about gamers ! It's about that paycheck for Activision. For Microsoft it's about chocking out competition. They have spent the most EVER - nothing comes close to Activision and Bethesda combined
lets go baby!! hahaha. 'Litigate, dont negotiate' - Lina Khan.
ATVI_AB Microsoft:
Of course they would fight they're selling because the stocks tanked and the ones up top wanna get paid
🤡
Hahahahahahahaha
Only the executive floor, because they earn a lot of money from it. But of course the developers and the other employees don't want to take it over
They only want it to go through to save Bobby Kotick's ass.
Of course they will, Bobby Kotick needs the golden parachute guaranteed by this deal
Shocking
PeterOvo5
I think it's funny that Activision officials think a $70 billion acquisition should not be subject to any anticompetitive investigation. 🤡
When the case end? As player, This acquisition is definitely good for players
