In an interview with the CEO of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer, he said the “responsibility” for the £50billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard “definitely hits home.”
In an interview with Axios, Spencer has revealed more of his feelings on one of the largest ever acquisitions. Spencer said: “I don’t know that I’m equipped to do it, and the responsibility for that definitely hits home.” The deal has come under scrutiny of late as the FTC have stepped in to assess it over fears of monopolisation.
However, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says he believes the deal will not be blocked. Spencer also addresses this claim in his interview.
“I want to stand for things that make teams better and people feel safe. I think we’ve been public about those things, but I would push back that we’re in some kind of hyper power position that is unfettered. I don’t believe that.”
