Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has revealed that he would “absolutely remain” at the megacorp if the planned acquisition with Microsoft does not proceed.
Originally, it was thought that Kotick would stand down once the deal is finalised, but Fox Business reports that undisclosed sources “close to the situation” say that if Microsoft’s planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard stalls, current CEO Kotick “will absolutely remain at the gaming giant to run the company”.
The same sources reports that the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is “the only regulatory body that really matters” given “it offers companies no legal recourse such as a trial”, but “confidence remains high” that the merger will proceed as planned.
