Microsoft today disclose the will for some shopping.
Activision Blizzard. In cash. Close to 70 bln dollars.

No, it’s not because they think Activision is worth 70 bln - they did it just to annoy the LinkedIn guys…

Because they only payed 26 bln for LinkedIn?

Wonder how they valued the 70bln I mean what they have like 5 ips

The romans would say ā€œalea jacta estā€ (Translated: The dice has fallen, implying the decision is done), although I do doubt they actually used dice to enumerate the valuation in this case… :slight_smile:

I can’t deny that maybe that reason was one of the considered one. But…

  1. MSN Messenger was dying
  2. Some green Messenger about an app rised really soon after that
  3. Microsoft started being payed for phone calls
  4. Literally the voice app + messaging was replacing something… than it was replaced once more… And now it’s going to die under Teams foot.
