The $70 billion deal would give Microsoft control over major gaming franchises such as Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Candy Crush and Crash Bandicoot.

Microsoft has agreed to buy the major gaming company Activision-Blizzard in a deal worth nearly $70 billion.

“Once the deal is complete, the Activision Blizzard business will report to me as CEO, Microsoft Gaming.” It comes after months of allegations around sexual harassment and toxic workplace conditions at Activision-Blizzard - allegations that have led to investigations, the resignations or firings of several senior staff, and calls for the firm’s long-serving CEO Bobby Kotick to resign.

Activision-Blizzard also owns King, the mobile gaming firm responsible for games such as Candy Crush.
