One of the topics that has been hot in recent days, especially today, has been the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, since various options and comments on the subject have been revealed around the world. Precisely, Take-Two Interactive CEO supports Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, arguing that this movement is good for the industry, quite contrary to what other agents in the sector think.
Through a conversation with TheWrapand transcribed by VGC, the CEO of Take-Two Interactive, Strauss Zelnick, had words of support for Microsoft, arguing various factors that are good for the industry. Let us remember that this important agreement already approved in the commission of Brazil, but it is currently meeting with UK regulators, who have had several complaints about the deal, arguing in favor of Sony.

Within the key words that Zelnick said, he detailed the following (translated): “We certainly think it’s a good thing for Microsoft and the industry. It’s a very fragmented business and there’s a lot of room for creativity, and Microsoft is an ally of ours, and if this makes their business more powerful, we think that’s good for us and good for everyone.” Undoubtedly, incredible words from a CEO as great as Zelnick, who beyond seeing positions between one company and another, argues his point of view in favor of the industry, consumers and developers.
We are facing a historic scenario in the world of video games, since in some more time, we will see if Microsoft finally ends the empowerment of Activision Blizzard, which it will mean a lot of material to emphasize in your gaming empire. Phil Spencer feels confident about the whole process, and hopes to have a resolution as soon as possible to start making the guidelines designed to return the company to where it was a few years ago.
