Microsoft $MSFT has signed an agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following Activision Blizzard's acquisition of $ATVI. The agreement to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation could further ease concerns about the impact of the acquisition on competition.
But will it be enough or will they find something else? 🙄
Since I own $MSFT stock I like the acquisition, I like how Microsoft is developing the video game market, their cloud gaming is something great. I feel a little bit like Microsoft messed up with their Xbox, Sony is definitely better at consoles, that's why Microsoft is trying to attract people with cloud gaming where you really only need fast internet and a newer TV. I'm currently holding and don't plan on selling.
I'm watching this too and I think the deal will happen and this is just a pointless effort to spoil it for them. I'm not much of a gambler so I don't know how these people feel about it, but I think it can only be a win-win for both sides. 😊 I hold stock in both companies happily.
That could be all... however, I don't think it will have any effect on the share price... :)
I think for those "experts" on games, the bigger problem was cloud gaming, which MSFT is going to dominate;) this arbitrage is really quite annoying, at first the price seemed to me not enough, then I took it as "easy profit" and now I'm so tired of it that I would probably sell it for less than 95usd. I understand that Lina Khan wants to make a name for herself on MSFT, but it's already a pretty desperate effort on her part and maybe she should focus on more important matters.
