As it was just officially announced on the Xbox site, Activision-Blizzard should now be counted as a member of Microsoft Game Studios. This means that games like Call of Duty, Diablo, World of Warcraft, Overwatch and many more will now be owned by Microsoft. Information about the fate of Bobby Kotick, Activision CEO and central figure in the multiple scandals that have hit the famous publisher, is not yet available but logic says that he will soon be a thing of the past. The price of the acquisition according to the Wall Street Journal will be a staggering 70 billion dollars.
