According to Game jokeThe $69 billion deal is expected to be a low-cost deal for both parties and for Robert Kotick to keep his role as CEO of Activision-Blizzard until the end of the regulatory review. The Swedish agency says the trial was a sham and that Microsoft colluded with Activision-Blizzard to acquire the studio “at a bargain price”.
“Our proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard was negotiated legally and fairly”
In any case, the companies did not stand by and responded against the lawsuit, Joe Christinat, one of their spokesmen, responded by stating that the Swedish agency is wrong, as everything was done legally. It is not yet clear what will come of this lawsuit, however, if the merger between Microsoft and Activision-Blizzard goes through, it will transform the owner of Xbox into one of the largest gaming companies in the world.
