I'm outta the loop with this whole Activision acquisition. The price is pretty steep for a company with only 1 mainstream franchise that's on a decline, which makes me ask why and what's the positive outcome from this? I know that their strategy is all about their Game Pass but couldn't they make a deal with them on that for a couple years that would cost them a lot more less than just buying them?

My opinion might be wrong but imo it's really a bad deal.

The deal includes Activision, Blizzard, and King. While core gamers mainly just think of games like Call of Duty, Diablo, and World of Warcraft, King is what core gamers forget about. King is the developer of the hugely popular mobile game Candy Crush, which has over 250 million monthly active users. Microsoft will use King and Candy Crush to grow its presence in the mobile market, and use Blizzard to help grow on PC.
