In each issue famous acquisition Activision Blizzard On Microsoft’s side the part that has been heard at least so far is probably exactly the publisher in question, so it’s interesting to highlight the CCO’s comment at Activision Blizzard reporting the “Don’t hesitate to fight” for Defend the move.
In fact, the discussion on the acquisition of Activision Blizzard has so far focused mainly on Microsoft and Sony, as we also saw recently with the publication of official documents sent to the CMA. In this case, however, we’re dealing with a couple of combative tweets from Lulu Cheng Meservey, EVP of Corporate Affairs and CCO (Chief Compliance Officer) at Activision Blizzard.
“I see a lot of speculation about Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard,” the CEO wrote, “Any claims that the deal could have anti-competitive effects are absurd.” This acquisition It will bring benefits to gamers and the video game industry In the US, especially now that we’re seeing stiffer competition from foreign companies.”
