I thought it said they tried to buy Microsoft at first glance. I'm glad I made that mistake, as this news was much more humorous before I understood properly.

LOL even with all of EA and Activisions assets and cash combined it would barely reach 10% of Microsoft's market cap.

Proud to be a Californian.

Don't care for either Microsoft or Minecraft, but good to see at least one part of the game industry was kept away from EA and Activision.
