They must be desperate to get rid of it, there is no way that they would be able to raise $10b, tho I see they have droped the asking price down to $8.27. Disney could afford it but they already stepped away from "core games" so not surprised. Tencent and Nexon can't afford it. I guess that the stock will end up on the open market at this rate, tho I wonder why they don't try selling Activision and Blizzard separately. |
But I thought that Activision Blizzard was in a strong position so that investors had strong reason to buy it?
Personally, I think the smartest move would be to sell off IP and studios individually (in some cases, selling them as a unit - Modern Warfare can go with Infinity Ward, for instance). They already shut down most of the less valuable studios, so the ones that remain should be worth quite a bit. MS bought Rare for $375 million - I'd expect that both Treyarch and Infinity Ward would be significantly more valuable than that. EA bought Bioware and Pandemic together for $775 million.
I honestly just can't see investors paying even $8 billion for Activision.
