Activision Blizzards stock price is as low as it hasn't been since early 2017 and half down to what the company was valued at late September. The numerous bad news are taking their toll it seems.

And while EA and Take-Two also dropped of during fall, EA recovered quite a bit since it's lowest around Christmas (from 76 back then up to 97 now), while Take-two didn't drop nearly as much and only hit the equivalent of April 2018 as lowest point.
