I still don't get how $69B is a reasonable deal. Acti-Blizzard have been making 7-8B net the last few years, so it will take MS 10 years assuming constant returns just to break even. Why is it a good deal, especially in gaming. What does MS want with the customer base?
- martinky24 3y agoThis is a very naive way of looking at M&A activities.
- sho_hn 3y agoWhat I've gathered over the past year (e.g. press coverage of documents uncovered during these proceedings) is that the Xbox ecosystem is falling behind Sony by quite some margin. This is presumably just to protect the business they already have, by scaling out and adding IP and content. They need it for customers to keep coming to Xbox.
- yreg 3y agoIs 10 years for break even supposed to be a lot? MS has some obvious synergies with ATVI.
