Microsoft will buy Activision Blizzard, betting $70 billion on the future of games. (Published 2022)
With the deal, the largest in the software maker’s history, Microsoft will acquire Activision’s huge pool of users and access to some of the world’s most popular games.

This is the biggest gaming news yet in the industry. Personally, I think it's natural considering Microsoft pretty much has the backbone to bring forth the future mixed reality or should I say metaverse. It's logical for Activision to come under the umbrella of Microsoft and use their infrastructure for the future.
If you have noticed how gigantic the project of the recent Microsoft Flight Simulator was, it had given hints where the trend was going. The massive data accumulated from Bing over the years was well utilized in the stimulator and it was just the start.
It's interesting to see what's coming next. Hopefully, some left projects and potential sequels that were dead and buried by Activision might get rebooted.
