"Bobby Kotick will continue to serve as CEO of Activision Blizzard" > that should be short-term, prefereably. I think this is generally a very good acquisition, actually!

Question is, Will it get through antitrust issues? Very questionable really. I’m sure the FTC and the DOJ will certainly look at this.

I hope Microsoft does not plan to make a lot of changes in Blizzard, as in the games offered and such.

Sadly, I feel those IPs would be Xbox and Windows exclusive assuming if it goes through antitrust.

sure, I think that's the logical way - personally, none of this bothers me as I don't use any of these products.

as you saw with the Minecraft takeover, there weren't that many changes, or I'm wrong.
