Microsoft is acquiring publisher/developer/pariah Activision Blizzard for 68 billion dollars

This compares to Sony’s 17 studios: Upon close, Microsoft will have 30 internal game development studios

Every gaming conglomerate has a graveyard of great studios. Sony has 17 studios that have already integrated and found their place within Sony. Microsoft just absorbed a giant number of studies. What did they have two years ago? 3 or 4? I know when I’ve been at companies that have been acquired I’ve looked at other places just to avoid the transition.

It’s cool to see Sony releasing their exclusives on PC after a few years.
