On Tuesday, Microsoft announced plans to acquire the video game publishing and developing company Activision Blizzard in an all-cash transaction valued at $68.7 billion, or at $95 per share. The acquisition will make Microsoft, which already produces the Xbox console series and owns a variety of video game developers as its subsidiaries, the third-largest gaming company by revenue, behind only Tencent and Sony.

The news follows a turbulent year for Activision Blizzard, as in 2021, a long history of sexual harassment and work culture problems at the company came to the public's attention, with the company facing a massive backlash and lawsuit brought on by the state of California.

The news came as a surprise to many, with users rushing to social media to share their reactions, discuss the news and post some memes about the acquisition.


The deal is expected to close in the fiscal year 2023.


Although the press release issued by Microsoft states that Bobby Kotick, the current CEO at Activision Blizzard, will remain in his position after the deal, with Activision Blizzard business reporting to Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer, The Wall Street Journal later reported that, according to its sources, Kotick is expected to depart one the deal closes.
