Microsoft finalizes its biggest acquisition in history, buying gaming giant Activision Blizzard. The acquisition marks a significant expansion of Microsoft's presence in the gaming industry, adding popular franchises like Call of Duty. The finalized deal guarantees that cloud gaming providers can utilize non-Windows operating systems for Activision content, alleviating the U.K. watchdog’s initial fears. As per the SEC filing, as of Friday, each Activision Blizzard common stock share has been cancelled and automatically converted into an entitlement to receive $95 in cash. With this acquisition, Activision Blizzard's portfolio of renowned video game franchises, such as Call of Duty, Diablo and Warcraft, will now be part of Microsoft’s enterprise. . . #microsoft #callofduty #activisionblizzard
