Hundred? It's not a fortune 500 company mate. This is a video game company with a revenue of about 4.8 billion and a market cap of 27.4. Valuation would be much much lower.

Exactly...

If the shareholders agreed to sell all their shares to Microsoft at the current market value it would cost 27 billion then. But why would they sell at the current market value? They'd gain nothing from that. They'd want a fair bit over current market value. So it would surely be closer to a hundred billion than to a few (ie. 2 or 3) billion.

How? By making up numbers from stock that isn't near that value? A hundred would mean close to a top 20 fortune 500 company man. It's nowhere near that amount. Not with all assets and stock and everything. Microsoft would not even look at a video game publisher for that kind of value if it were true. So whatever value you're thinking of, it's way off the mark.
