Xbox boss Phil Spencer says he's 'more confident' now in the Activision Blizzard deal.
Microsoft's big acquisition of Activision Blizzard is a deal which Xbox boss Phil Spencer said he's"more confident"in now compared to around a year ago. These comments come amid conversations with regulatory boards and other bodies that have been looking into the deal to see if it was too big of an acquisition to go through as it was presented.
Spencer spoke to IGN about this topic and others following Wednesday's first-of-its-kind Xbox showcase which brought us release dates and shadow drops. He said that based on the info he has available to him now as well as current discussions about the matter, he's more confident in the situation. He added that we're 12 months into an 18-month timeframe, so Microsoft has around six months to close the deal if it wants to stay within its projected window.
"When we announced a year ago, we talked about an 18-month timeframe," Spencer said."We're 12 months into that. I think we continue to stay focused on getting the deal closed. I think we can do some amazing things together with the teams at Activision-Blizzard-King on the mobile side, and collaborating them with new creative and new ways to deliver their content.
Spencer also acknowledged the numerous involvements from different regulators by saying that conversations were going and that his"confidence remains high."0comments"We're actively working with the regulatory boards around the world that need to approve for this, and it's been a learning experience for me," he said.
