Holy cow, that's alot of money!

Microsoft does not monetize Minecraft nearly as aggressively as Roblox is monetized. It’s actually to their credit that to this day the only thing they charge for is the box price of the games. 

Roblox is extremely exploitative 

Daaaaaaaaaamn! Who would've thought a mobile and social network developer would be worth so much lol

Ouch, my Take-Two shares fell 20% :(

Hopefully it was a good business decision in the long run.

There's big money to be made in mobile gaming. Last year Zynga was on track to making close to $3 billion revenue.

Here's one report showing comparing different platforms revenues https://newzoo.com/insights/articles/the-next-generation-of-high-fidelity-mobile-games-is-coming-and-pc-console-publishers-are-on-board/?utm_campaign=Mobile%20Market%20Report&utm_content=170678566&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&hss_channel=tw-802413265

Also with NFT's garnering large interest from corporations, I guess Take Two wanted a slice of that pie.

12.7B is an insane amount though.

I'm surprised Zynga is even worth that amount of money.

You would think if you would spend 12 billion dollar in a video game company, you could buy a bit more/buy something better.

Since nowadays I apparently have to voice my opinion about every acquisition regardless of whether I have a strong opinion about it or not much of an opinion to be able to criticize acquisitions, I'll just add that this is the kind of an acquisition that I don't think hurts too much. It's not very promising in terms of what kinds of developments the future might hold for Take Two's games, but this also isn't a very exclusive move.

Massive purchase from Take Two. Zynga is one of the largest mobile publishers out there. Also can't forget they were looking to pick up Codemasters right before EA swooped in.

Better they than Sony, and well perhaps that will prevent T2 from buying devs I care about.
