@alyx ubisoft has declining revenues on core games and as a result recently switched to a mobile game/free-to-play focus. their market cap matches that of a bethesda-sized acquisition, which is what m$ was rumored to be looking for, and yves will appreciate being left alone

activision's shares outstanding come in at ~783m so for a $68.3B deal it would come out to ~$87 per share. the scandal without a doubt "helped" get the share price to a better target (they were sitting at ~$90 per share pre-investigation) and with how unpopular the board is shareholders probably will approve that
